| Introduction | ethyl silicate, also known as tetraethyl silicate, tetraethoxysilane. Colorless transparent liquid, with special odor. Stable in the presence of anhydrous, water decomposition into ethanol and silicic acid, turbid in humid air, soluble in alcohol, ether and other organic solvents. Toxic, strong irritation to the human eye and respiratory tract. Obtained by distillation after the action of silicon tetrachloride and anhydrous ethanol. It is used in the preparation of heat-resistant and chemical-resistant coatings and organic silicon solvents. It can also be used in organic synthesis, basic raw materials for the preparation of advanced Crystal, optical glass treatment agents, bonding agents, insulating materials for the electronics industry, etc. |
| refractory material principle | ethyl silicate itself has no binding capacity, if ethyl silicate is used as a binder for refractory materials, must be hydrolyzed before use. The hydrolysis reaction of ethyl silicate proceeds very slowly under the condition of only water, and the hydrolysis rate is greatly accelerated once it is catalyzed by acid (H) or base (OH-). Hydrochloric acid is generally used as a catalyst, because the use of alkali as a catalyst will make the hydrolysis solution quickly gel and the hydrolysis Sol lose stability, thus losing the binding ability, ethyl silicate in the acid catalyzed hydrolysis reaction is as follows: The hydrolysis reaction is essentially the replacement of the ethoxy group (C2H5O-) in the ethyl silicate by the hydroxyl group (-OH) in water, resulting in the conversion from the ethyl silicate (Si4-OC2H5) to the silanol group (Si4-OH). Silanol groups are highly reactive and can continue to undergo acid exchange or etherification reactions with other ethyl silicates or silanol groups. However, the degree of hydrolysis reaction must be controlled to produce stable ethyl silicate hydrolysate. Otherwise, as a result of the continuous reaction, the body-type polyorganosilicon will be formed to lose stability and become an insoluble gel, thereby losing workability. The stability of ethyl silicate hydrolysate is mainly adjusted by the addition of acid or alkali. When the pH value is between 1.5 and 2.5, the gel time is longer, and the hydrolysate is the most stable, lower than or higher than this range. The hydrolysate is prone to gel, and the pH value is between 5 and 6, The hydrolysate is the most unstable. Therefore, the general hydrolysis liquid should be controlled between 2.0~2.5, in order to maintain its stability, in order to maintain a certain operation time (construction or forming time) after mixing with refractory materials. The hydrolysis solution of ethyl silicate can be used as a binder for refractory materials of precision casting mold, and can also be used as a binder for products such as clay, high alumina, corundum, zircon, mullite, silicon carbide and castables. |
