| Silbond 40 |
 |
| SILBOND 40 is a concentrated form for obtaining usable silica. It is partially hydrolyzed mixture of monomers, dimers, trimers, higher polymers and cyclic polysilicates. Average -Si-O Si- chain length is about five. It is commonly used as an intermediate towards less concentrated, more highly hydrolyzed binders for a variety of end uses. Like Silbond Condensed, these binders are used for inorganic zinc rich coatings, investment casting molds, cores and ceramic shapes and coatings.
