• ethyl silicate is applied in foundry engineering as a bonding material for ceramic molds production;
• ethyl silicate is applied as binding component for heat-proof, chemically stable and weather-resistant finishes. It is also used to obtain a firm solid heat-proof and corrosion-resistant material which cannot be dissolved in water after alkaline hydrolysis and baking;
• it is applied for wood impregnation, making wood resistant to bacteria influence;
• it is applied as a ad additive to solid polymers improving water-resistance and adhesion to glass, metal and wood.
Complex mixture containing tetraethoxysilane and oligoethoxysiloxanes.
