BKTK-6040 is a product of hydrolyzed oligomerization of ethyl orthosilicate, featuring a higher SiO2 content in the product compared to BKTK-6042. It is hydrolyzed by a catalyst and is widely used in the production of precision molds as well as the processing of refractory materials.
Used in the synthesis of silicone semi-finished products, as well as for the production of fire-resistant adhesives and precision casting.
Serves as an effective cross-linking agent for room-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber.
Applied in anti-corrosion coatings, chemical-resistant coatings, and heat-resistant coatings.
Ideal for waterproofing treatments of stone, concrete, and the surface treatment of other mineral materials.
Application of Products
Used for treating ceramic, glass, and metal surfaces to significantly increase their wear and corrosion resistance.
Specifically formulated for the preparation of heat-resistant, weather-resistant, and chemically corrosion-resistant paints and coatings, primarily utilizing their high permeability and curing properties.
Product Description
It is used to prepare paints and coatings resistant to high temperatures, weathering, and chemicals. Ethyl silicate 40 is also used in the treatment of ceramic, glass, and metal surfaces to improve their resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
Ethyl silicate 40 is typically produced by reacting tetraethyl silicate with alcohol. The reaction process requires strict control of conditions to ensure product purity and stability.
Due to its irritating odor and vapors, this product should be handled in a well-ventilated area. Direct contact with skin, eyes, and the respiratory tract should be strictly avoided. To avoid hazardous chemical reactions, prevent contact with oxidizing agents, acids, and water.
Safety and Storage
Customers should review the latest MSDS and product safety information labels before use.
Individual instructions for safe handling contain information on necessary protective equipment and special storage conditions required to ensure safety.
Store away from heat and open flames in a cool, dry place.
Keep tightly closed, otherwise it will hydrolyze and form polymers when exposed to moisture.
Packaging Specifications
Finished products are packed in plastic barrels of 20 kg or 200 kg.
Other customized packaging specifications are available upon request to meet your specific application needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between BKTK-6040 and BKTK-6042?
BKTK-6040 is a product of hydrolyzed oligomerization of ethyl orthosilicate and possesses a higher SiO2 content than BKTK-6042.
What are the key applications for BKTK-6040 (Ethyl Silicate 40)?
It is mainly used in precision casting, manufacturing precision molds, processing refractory materials, formulating anti-corrosion and heat-resistant coatings, and cross-linking room-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber. It is also highly effective for waterproofing stone and concrete surfaces.
How should this product be safely stored?
It must be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and open flames. The containers must be kept tightly sealed at all times, as exposure to moisture will cause the product to hydrolyze and form polymers.
What precautions should be taken when handling Ethyl Silicate 40?
