Some babies with torticollis also will develop a flat head (positional plagiocephaly) on one or both sides from lying in one direction all the time. Or they might develop a small neck lump or bump, which is similar to a knot in a tense muscle. Both of these conditions tend to go away as the torticollis gets better.
Sodium Silicate is formed when metal cations (sodium) combine with silica. Sodium Silicate functions as a buffering agent, corrosion inhibitor and a pH adjuster in cosmetics. Buffering agents, commonly called buffers, are chemicals which have the property of maintaining the pH of an aqueous medium in a narrow range even if small amounts of acids or bases are added.
A buffer agentâs acid form (HA) is mixed with its conjugate base (A -) in water to make the solution. Once a balance exists between HA and A - , any other acids or bases added will be neutralized when they turn a portion of the buffer agent into either the HA or A-form.uffer agents, which are added to water to make buffer solutions, resist pH changes when exposed to acids or bases. Borax can be used to make a simple buffer solution. Borax, which can be used to make a buffer solution. Antacids, a type of buffer. Buffering agents are used in detergents.
