Application
Building Materials
Tetraethoxysilan Crosile® SI40 is often used to produce calcium silicate board, diatomaceous earth and aluminum silicate materials, which can improve the hardness, waterproofness and weather resistance of the materials.
Coatings and Paints
Mainly used for high anti-corrosion zinc powder coatings, Crosile Si 40 as a binder for zinc powder coatings can ensure easy mixing of zinc powder during construction, solve the problem of zinc powder precipitation, and is suitable for strict elimination of moisture. Provide effective anti-corrosion protection for steel and heavy-duty anti-corrosion coatings (such as ship and bridge steel structures)V
Silicon tetraethoxide Crosile® SI40 can enhance the weather resistance, adhesion and corrosion resistance of coatings and paints. In the field of cosmetics, ethyl silicate can be used as emulsifier, stabilizer and moisturizer.
Plastics
Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) Crosile® SI40 can be used as plasticizer and flame retardant to improve the heat resistance and flame retardancy of plastics.
According to statistics from market research institutions, the market size of ethyl silicate has been increasing year by year and it is expected to maintain a stable growth in the next few years. At present, the ethyl silicate market is mainly concentrated in Asia-Pacific region and Europe. China、Japan、South Korea、India are major producers and consumers of ethyl silicate in Asia-Pacific region.
