Thermal destruction of gel compositions based on ethyl silicate and boric acid

Modification of Liquid Glasses Is a Key Factor in the Technology of Obtaining Hybrid Compositions and Coatings with Anticorrosive Properties

“…Over the 30-40 years [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] and especially in the last 3 years [8][9][10][11][12], a considerable body of knowledge about the prospects of introducing organosilicon and organic compounds into alkali metal silicate solutions has been accumulated worldwide. There is evidence [1][2][3] that high-strength organo-inorganic compositions can be produced from liquid glasses comprising hydrolyzed siloxanes (1:1) or mixtures of the above compounds with ureacontaining resins.…”

Half a century ago, A.T. Kuznetsov [4], introducing a mixture of sodium ethyl siliconate and sulphate-alcohol bard into silicate compositions, discovered that they are water resistant and excellent for protecting metal surfaces and concrete (especially when exposed to high loads in oxidized environments).…”
