COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING INORGANIC METAL COMPOUNDS AND WATER-SOLUBLE ORGANIC SILICONE COMPOUNDS

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSUREA liquid composition comprising a solution ofa water-soluble metal compound convertible to metaloxide and a smaller amount of a hydrolytically stablewater-soluble organic silicone which may be used toprepare binders, coatings and shaped bodies, especiallyfibres. Preferred silicones are polysiloxane, polyoxy-alkylene copolymers and preferred metal compounds aresalts of aluminium and zirconium. Phase-stabilised alumina,especially in the form of fibres, is a particularly import-ant embodiment; transitional alumina can be stabilised upto 1400°C without the appearance of separate phases ofmullite and crystalline silica.
