VANABIO® OS2542D is a hydrolyzed and oligomerized form of ethyl silicate. It is a mixture of monomers, dimers, trimers and cyclic polysiloxanes.
VANABIO® OS2542D is a transparent liquid containing 40% silica (SiO2) by mass, but in practice, in addition to chain condensates, it also contains branch-shaped and ring-shaped condensates. It is the equivalent of Momentive's TEOS-40, Wacker's SILICATE TES40, Evonik's Dynasil 40 silane.

VANABIO® OS2542D is used to deposit silicic acid formed as a result of complete hydrolysis. The resulting silicic acid bonds well to many inorganic substrates, such as ceramic, fillers, glass, metal, pigments and synthetic fibers. The deposition of a thin SiO2 layer improves the chemical and the thermal stability and mechanical properties.
VANABIO® OS2542D orthosilicate may be used as a binder in zinc-rich (corrosion resistant) coating.
