Sodium silicate and sodium carbonate are used in traditional casting slips as

  • A.plasticisers
  • B.opacifiers
  • C.deflocculants
  • D.binders

Answer: C

They exchange sodium for calcium on the clay surfaces and raise the surface charge, which disperses the particles. Modern slips often use polyacrylate dispersants instead, which give finer control over the same effect. Their dose is far less sensitive to small errors in weighing.
