- Application Details
- SILESTER® XAR is ready for use and may be processed straight away to ceramic slips, ramming mixes and anticorrosion paints.
- Its degree of hydrolysis and pH have been optimized so as to provide the necessary reactivity and adequate storage stability.
- A change in pH, e. g. arising from addition of fillers, pigments, various additives or solvent evaporation, promotes condensation of the ethyl silicate and the system will cure more quickly.
- It is also important that the added components do not introduce uncontrolled amounts of water into the system as this would adversely affect the processing time / shelf life of the formulation.
- SILESTER® XAR is primarily used to make: - Ceramic casting molds, e. g. by the lost wax method. - refractory products - 2-pack anticorrosion zinc-rich paints, especially shop primers.

- Properties
- The main difference between ethyl silicate hybrid binders and conventional acid-catalyzed ethyl silicate hydrolyzates is that the binder (SiO2) generated during setting is formed from ethyl silicate and another source of amorphous silica.
- Due to their special formulation and the technology used in their manufacture, hybrid binders have very good storage stability and processing properties.
