Refractory Mortar Kit:
Hardened Sodium Silicate Solution by itself has a
softening point of 1200 degrees F.
Flow point of 1545 degrees F. The addition of High Alumina Clay will bring the service
temperature up to 3200 to 3400 degrees F. Mix
Sodium Silicate solution with High Alumina Clay to form a morter for use in joining
Firebricks or repairing Kilns. Allow to Air Dry, then gradually increase the
temperature to 200 to 210 F to remove any remaining water. Final Curing occurs
at 300 to 400 degrees F. Heating too quickly
may cause steam to form resulting in blistering or puffing as the steam is released.

Sodum Silicate solution can be
used as a binder in forming core molds. Simply mix your sodium silicate solution
with very fine dry sand. form it into your mold and cover it with a plastic bag.
Gas it with Carbon Dioxide Gas (CO2). It will harden in about 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove hardened Core and heat in the oven at about 200 degrees to slowly drive off
the water in the mix. Turn the oven up to about 450 degrees to finish the
curing process.

Heat Resistance
When silicate films are completely dehydrated, they
provide excellent resistance to high temperature. Most silicates used for coatings
or binders have softening points of approximately 1200oF and flow points of 1500
to 1600oF. Resistance to higher temperatures can be achieved by adding clay to the
formulation. Depending on the aluminum or magnesium content of the clay, service
temperatures up to 3200 to 3400oF are possible due to the formation of a ceramic
bond. Mixtures of copper, nickel, chromium and stainless steel powders in the silicate
vehicle provide high temperature-resistant coatings for metals.
Environmental Acceptability
Sodium silicates are made from sand
and alkali and are universally judged to be nontoxic and ecologically harmless in
fresh water environments. They are completely inorganic and therefore do not present
hazards of explosion or flammability.
Safety and Handling Information
Depending on their degree of alkalinity,
soluble silicates may irritate or burn the skin and eyes on contact. Precautions
for handling, provided on the labels of packages, should be observed. Material Safety
Data Sheets are available for all products for further guidance.
