![]() ![]() The effects of various factors such as the amount of catalysts, water, solvent type and amount, reaction temperature, and reaction time have been discussed in this article. The present study elaborates on the processes of hydrolysis of ethyl silicate in the presence of acidic and alkaline catalysts to produce ethyl silicate hydrolysates with a desired degree of hydrolysis. Although the commercial success of water-borne systems is not yet well established, these coatings are primarily solvent-borne; however, recent developments have also led to the creation of water-borne versions. ![]() Due to the formation of a conductive matrix from the binder after film curing, zinc-rich coatings based on ethyl silicate binders offer exceptional cathodic protection to steel structures. These coatings provide unparalleled corrosion protection to steel substrates exposed to high temperatures. Zinc-rich inorganic coatings based on ethyl silicate are highly successful for protecting steel against corrosion under severe exposure conditions such as underground, marine atmosphere, industrial atmosphere, nuclear power plants, and others. Surface coatings based on ethyl silicate binders are classified as inorganic coatings, whereas conventional surface coatings primarily based on organic binders are referred to as organic coatings.
