Used as an adhesive in paper and cardboard manufacturing due to its strong binding properties and quick drying. Commonly employed in water treatment to control corrosion and stabilize pH levels in municipal and industrial systems. Acts as a binder in cement and refractory materials, improving strength and heat resistance in construction applications. Widely used in detergents and cleaning products as a corrosion inhibitor and buffering agent. Serves as a fire retardant for wood and textiles by forming a protective glassy layer when exposed to heat. Utilized in the foundry industry for sand casting, where it helps bind sand molds together with high dimensional stability. Applied in egg preservation by sealing pores on the shell to extend shelf life in non-refrigerated storage. Used in the production of silica gel, a desiccant for moisture control in packaging and electronics.
