PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Product Description

MSD Series Modified Sodium Disilicate is an inorganic detergent builder developed for powder detergent, textile, industrial cleaning, and related formulation applications. The material provides strong calcium-ion exchange performance, helping reduce the effects of water hardness while supporting detergent efficiency and formulation stability. MSD also offers useful pH-buffering characteristics together with compatibility across a range of surfactant and bleaching systems. It is available in granular and fine grades to accommodate different processing and particle-size requirements. Its combination of water-softening capability, controlled alkalinity, particle characteristics, and formulation compatibility makes it suitable for modern detergent systems, including applications where phosphate-based builders are being reduced or replaced.
