Located in Nogent-l’Artaud in the Hauts-de-France region, this site produces sodium silicate, obtained by bonding sand and sodium carbonate at high temperature in a glassmaker type furnace.
We offer three commercial qualities: glassy sodium silicate, liquid sodium silicate, sodium silicate/carbonate co-granulate called Nabion®15 and Nabion®26.
