Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40

Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 is a clear, low-viscosity liquid with a minimum silica content of 40.0% (the Si content of Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 is calculated as SiO2). Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 is an ethyl polysilicate that is the partially hydrolyzed product of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The partial hydrolysis of TEOS (Si[OEt]4) results in the conversion of ethoxy groups to hydroxyl groups forming silanols. Subsequent condensation of silanols will form siloxane bonds (-Si-O-Si-O-) and eventually cause the material to gel. Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 is often used as an intermediate, which is further hydrolyzed to produce a binder that can be used for many applications. Several of these end-uses include inorganic zinc-rich primers, investment casting molds, cores and ceramic shapes, coatings, and thermal insulation.

Application Information
  • Similar to Dynasylan® SILBOND® Condensed, Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 is used to deposit silicic acid formed as a result of complete hydrolysis. The resulting silicic acid bonds well to many inorganic substrates, such as glass, ceramic, metal, fillers, pigments, and synthetic fibers. The deposition of a thin SiO2 layer improves the chemical and thermal stability and mechanical properties.

Other applications are:

  1. Binder, especially as Dynasylan® SILBOND® H- or HT- binders for inorganic zinc-rich coatings or precision investment castings.
  2. Encapsulant for hydroxyl poor fillers to enhance adhesion with functional silanes.
  3. Crosslinker component in cold-curing silicone rubber systems
  4. Hardening component in dentistry for impression materials and as a binder for embedding material.
  • Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 is also used as starting material for sol-gel processes. It is usually used in conjunction with alkylsilanes (e.g. Dynasylan® MTES) organofunctional silanes and/or organic precursors (e.g. organic resins) to form siloxane networks. This makes it possible to obtain highly scratch-, abrasion-, and chemical-resistant coatings.
  • Dynasylan® SILBOND® 40 or its hydrolysates are also the binder component for 1- and 2-pack inorganic zinc-rich coatings, for corrosion protection on steel, and for slurries used in precision investment castings.
