| Silbond 40-HF |
 |
| SILBOND 40-HF is a concentrated form to obtain usable silica. It has a flash point above 100'F (37.8'C) and is a classified as a combustible liquid. It is a partially hydrolyzed mixture of monomers, dimers, trimers, high 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. Other Silbond Corporation bulletins describing basic chemistry and specific applications of ethyl silicate are available. |
