摘要

A consolidation agent for molded articles and geological formations from porous or particulate materials, containing a hydrolysate or precondensate of (a) at least one organosilane of the general formula (I) RnSiX4-n  (I) in which the radicals R are identical or different and are not hydrolytically removable groups, the radicals X are identical or different and are hydrolytically removable groups or hydroxyl groups, and n is 1, 2 or 3, and optionally (b) at least one hydrolyzable silane of the general formula (II) SiX4  (II) in which the radicals X have the meaning defined above.
