METHOD OF REGULATING DEGREE OF POLYMERIZATION OF AN ALKALI METAL SILICATE IN SOLUTION USING PH

摘要

The present disclosure relates to alkali metal silicates. Methods for regulating the degree of polymerization of an alkali metal silicate in solution using pH are provided. The degree of polymerization may be regulated to be less than or equal to about 2.5. Methods for cleaning by contacting a surface with an alkali metal silicate solution having a pH-regulated degree of polymerization are also provided.
