Liquid Sodium Silicates






              Properties



               Silicates unique gelling / precipitation properties can be optimized to achieve

                    a fast reaction, unlike cement which can be washed away before setting

              Compatible with temperatures from low to 300°C and above

              Various activators can be utilized to adjust time of set, durability, hardness etc.



              Sand Consolidation

              Sand influx into the wellbore is a common problem in oil and gas production
              causing plugging, erosion of valves and pipelines and sand accumulation in

              separators. Movement of fine sand back into the wellbore can occur when

              binding between sand grains is disrupted.



              Consolidation with sodium silicate and an activator can bind fine sand particles

              together. Most silicate formulations are considered permanent materials.

              Geotechnical grouting projects have been examined after 10 years and the
              grouted soils were still intact.
