Pentahydrate for a Latin America ceramic slurry trial
Latin America ceramic plant — an example RFQ pattern, not a named customer case study.
Updated
Example scenario — not a customer reference
These are example buyer scenarios, not named customer case studies. They illustrate how sodium metasilicate grades are typically quoted for industries and regions already published on this site. They do not report order volumes, revenue, win rates, or identifiable accounts.
Short answer
This is an example buyer scenario, not a named plant. A Latin America ceramic works typically starts with sodium metasilicate pentahydrate for wet body or glaze trials; form then follows water content, dissolution and dust rather than a ceramics catalogue name. Zhongzhi Chemical quotes after grade, monthly quantity, packing and destination port are stated. No volume or plant name is published here.

Region pattern consistent with documented export destinations on the Export page, including Ecuador and Mexico.
Situation
A body or glaze slurry trial needs controlled alkalinity and a physical form that matches dosing: pentahydrate for many wet trials, anhydrous where crystal water must stay low, granules where hopper flow and dust dominate at charging.
What this RFQ typically confirms
- Sodium metasilicate is not a complete deflocculant system; the plant’s own deflocculant package still has to be qualified.
- Iron is limited by grade specification and reported on the batch COA.
- Approved factory document pack v1 (TDS, SDS, stamped COA samples) is on Downloads; shipment COA is issued per lot.
- This scenario is sodium metasilicate, not liquid sodium silicate foundry binder.
Qualitative outcome
The RFQ treats body vs glaze, dosing method and iron limit as process inputs, so the first reply can recommend a form (pentahydrate, anhydrous or granules) without claiming casting yield or fired shade.
What this page does not claim
- This page does not name a tile group or sanitary-ware plant.
- No casting yield, green strength, fired shade or scrap-rate figure is published.
- Slip stability is a plant-trial result, not a supplier warranty.
RFQ this application
A quotation needs grade, monthly quantity (MT), packing, destination port and buyer type. This scenario only pre-fills application and grade. No prices are shown on the form.
