  • Patent number: 4366136
    Abstract: Prepolymers of alkali metal silicates and/or alkaline earth metal silicates and metal oxides, which can be used as molding compositions, preferably compression molding compositions, for the production of compression-molding laminates or of insulating sheets, are obtained by a method wherein a mixture of solid alkali metal silicates and/or alkaline earth metal silicates, and/or aqueous solutions of such silicates, with or without addition of water, and of divalent to tetravalent metal oxides, the ratio of metal oxide to silicate in the mixture being from 1:1 to 1:9, expressed in parts by weight of solids, and the homogenized mixture having a water content of from 10 to 50% by weight, based on the total amount of mixture, is allowed to pre-react in the temperature range of 10.degree. to 50.degree. C. until the water content of the mixture has decreased by from 0.
