colorless flammable liquid, irritating odor, relative density of 0.9356. Boiling point 168.1 °c. Melting point 110 °c (sublimation). Vapor pressure (20 °c) 133. Flash point (Open Cup) 51. 67 °c. Freezing point -77 °c. Viscosity (20 ℃)17. 9mPa.s, insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, slightly soluble in benzene. Hydrolysis to produce an adhesive of silica.
The esterification reaction was carried out using silicon tetrachloride and anhydrous ethanol as raw materials at a ratio of 1:1.2 in terms of the amount ratio of the substances at normal temperature and normal pressure. The reaction product is distilled at a temperature above 150 ° C. To remove hydrogen chloride gas from the feed solution, and excess ethanol is distilled off, then cooled, decolorized and filtered to obtain the product.
tetraethoxysilane is mainly used in the manufacture of chemical-resistant coatings and heat-resistant coatings, silicone solvents and precision casting adhesives. After complete hydrolysis, it produces very fine silicon oxide powder, which is used to make the fluorescent powder.
