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.
At very low p[H+] the [H+] term in the denominator predominates and buffer capacity rises exponentially with decreasing pH. The buffer capacity of a buffering agent is at a local maximum when p[H+] = pKa. It falls to 33% of the maximum value at p[H+] = pKa Â± 1 and to 10% at p[H+] = pKa Â± 1.5.
