Solvent-free alkyl trialkoxy-silanes whose alkyl groups have 2 to 8 carbon atoms and whose alkoxy groups have 1 or 2 carbon atoms are used for the in-depth hydrophobic impregnation of concrete. Propyl and isobutyl trialkoxy-silanes display an especially deeply penetrating hydrophobizing action which is greater than that of solutions of these silanes.

Impregnation of concrete in depth

The present invention relates to the production of molds for the casting of metal. The molds are made of refractory materials bound together by a binding agent on the basis of a partially hydrolyzed, partially condensed silicic acid ester. A slip consisting of binding agent and refractory material is applied to the model alternately with a granular refractory sanding material. In accordance with the invention, the granular refractory sanding material contains the agent for hardening the binding agent. The method of the invention makes possible the dimensionally accurate reproduction of even relatively large models, while the slip can be stored over a relatively long period of time without loss of its action.

Method of producing molds for the casting of metal

Aqueous solution of mixtures of silicon-organic compounds

An aqueous solution of a mixture of silicon-organic compounds comprising: A. A silane of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein a is 1 or 2, b is 0, 1 or 2, and a +b is equal to or less than 3, p is 0 or 1, and R represents an alkylene moiety of 1 to 8 carbon atoms or arylene moiety, R' represents an alkyl moiety, X represents a hydrolizable moiety and Y represents a functional group or the CH.sub.3 or the CH.sub.2 .dbd.CH moiety, and B. A copolymer having the recurrent unit of the general formula: ##STR2## wherein R' represents OH and/or [O].sup.- [NH.sub.4 ].sup.+ and/or [O].sup.- [Me].sup.+ where Me is an alkali or alkaline earth metal and Z can represent a moiety of the formula: ##STR3## wherein R'' represents an alkyl moiety. Also disclosed are new copolymers having the recurrent unit ##STR4## wherein at least one of the Z moieties is a moiety having the formula ##STR5## wherein R'' represents an alkyl moiety. Also disclosed are the use of the aqueous solutions as coating agents for metals, inorganic oxidic and inorganic sulfidic materials. There is also disclosed the use of such aqueous solutions of silicon organic compounds as adhesivizing agents especially for securing inorganic oxidic materials to polymers.
