SiSiB® PC5430

Tetrapropoxysilane (TPOS) .
Synonym: Tetrapropyl Orthosilicate;
Tetrapropyl Silicate.

Countertype of Evonik DYNASIL P


Chemical Structure


Introduction

SiSiB® PC5430, [also called n-Propyl Silicate] is used as a cross-linking agent for silicon rubber, and as a modifying agent for organic and inorganic resins. The ethyl group of ethyl silicate is replaced by the N-propyl group, so the speed of hydrolysis is slower than ethyl silicate.

Applications

SiSiB® PC5430 may be used as an inorganic binder for refractory fillers and pigments, like precision investment castings.


SiSiB® PC5430 may be used as a second backup casting coating. It cures faster than colloidal silica system.


SiSiB® PC5430 may be hydrolyzed to form silicon dioxide (silica).


SiSiB® PC5430 may be used as a binder in zinc-rich (corrosion resistant) coating.


SiSiB® PC5430 may be used as a starting material for sol-gel process.


SiSiB® PC5430 may be used as a crosslinking agent for silicone sealant.


SiSiB® PC5430 may be used as a drying agent in sealing compositions.


SiSiB® PC5430 may be used as a chemical intermediate.
