CONSOLIDATION AGENTS AND THE USE THEREOF FOR CONSOLIDATING MOULDED BODIES AND GEOLOGICAL FORMATIONS CONSISTING OF POROUS OR PARTICULATE MATERIALS

摘要

The invention relates to consolidation agents for moulded bodies and geological formations consisting of porous or particulate materials, said agents containing a hydrolysate or a pre-condensate of (a) at least one organosilane of general formula (I) RnSiX4-n (I) wherein the radicals R are the same or different and represent hydrolytically non-separable groups, the radicals X are the same or different and represent hydrolytically separable groups or hydroxy groups, and n represents 1, 2 or 3; and optionally (b) at least one hydrolysable silane of general formula (II) SiX4 (II) wherein the radicals X have the above-mentioned designation.
