LUDOX® SK Colloidal Silica
for High Temperature Binders
These colloidal silica particles have chemically active surfaces that bond readily to many types of
granular and
fibrous
materials, especially those used for refractory or ceramic applications.
For a given application, heating to an optimum temperature increases bond strength while eliminating the need for more toxic binders.
LUDOX® colloidal silica is water based and most grades contain no volatile organic compounds (VOC).
The high surface area and reactivity of the silica particles make them very effective inorganic binders for high temperature applications such as:
