Metasilicate Pentahydrate
Free-flowing crystalline granules with controlled alkalinity — a core builder in detergent powders, dishwash and institutional cleaners.
METACO is the metasilicate unit of Pricetech Chem LLP. It is not a separate company — commercial terms, quality policy and documentation all sit with Pricetech Chem LLP.
The unit reacts silicate with alkali, then crystallises and dries it into metasilicate — pentahydrate and nonahydrate for detergent and cleaning formulations, anhydrous powder where high alkalinity with low moisture is required, and sodium orthosilicate for the most aggressive degreasing duties.
The silicate feed comes from our own GLASSCO furnace at Padra, so the raw material history behind every meta silicate batch is known rather than bought blind.
Figures below are indicative and to be confirmed against your final plant data.
Incoming silicate from our Padra furnace verified before reaction.
Alkali dosing and temperature held to the target Na₂O : SiO₂ ratio.
Controlled crystal growth, then drying to pentahydrate or anhydrous.
Assay, Na₂O, SiO₂, pH and particle size checked against the approved spec.
Batch COA issued, retained sample filed, vehicle sealed.
