  • Patent number: 8133315
    Abstract: Described is a consolidant comprising a hydrolyzate or precondensate of at least one organosilane and at least one metal compound, where the molar ratio of silicon compounds to metal compounds is in the range of from 10 000:1 to 10:1. The consolidant can be used for the hydrolysis-stable consolidation of porous or particulate materials to form moldings. The consolidant can be used for the hydrolysis-stable coating of substrates.

  • Patent number: 7825074
    Abstract: A process for a consolidation which is hydrolytically stable under hydrothermal conditions and/or for changing the wetting behavior of a porous and/or particulate geological formation. The process comprises introducing into the geological formation a consolidant and curing the introduced consolidant under elevated pressure and elevated temperature. The consolidant comprises a hydrolyzate and/or a precondensate based on silanes and metal compounds.
