USES: 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. Other Silbond Corporation bulletins describing basic chemistry and
specific applications of ethyl silicate are available
