| Prehydrolyzed ethyl polysilicate |
 |
| The SILBOND H-4 is a prehydrolyzed ethyl polysilicate designed specifically as a ready-to-use binder for investment casting molds. When diluted 1:1 by volume with alcohol, a slurry for ceramic shells can be made with addition of refractories. H-4 can be used right out of the drum for solid flasks, without prior in-house hydrolysis or dilution. It is a natural for any application requiring a prehydrolyzed binder with a silica content of 18%. Bulletins describing specific applications, with formulations, are available from Silbond Corporation. |
