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
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 included in this example.

- Ceramic slurry & casting
- Region
- Latin America
- Grade in view
- Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate
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.
- TDS, SDS and stamped COA samples are on Downloads; shipment COA is issued per lot.
- The grade in this scenario is sodium metasilicate pentahydrate for a ceramic slurry trial.
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.
Scope and limits
- The example 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.
Ready to RFQ
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.
