Ethyl silicate, with the CAS number 11099-06-2, is an organosilicon compound characterized by its silicate structure, where ethyl groups are bonded to silicon atoms. It is typically a colorless, clear liquid with a mild odor and is known for its ability to hydrolyze in the presence of moisture, forming silica and ethanol. This property makes it useful as a precursor in the production of silica gels and coatings. Ethyl silicate is soluble in organic solvents such as alcohols and ethers but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl groups. It is commonly employed in various applications, including as a binder in paints and coatings, in the manufacture of ceramics, and as a sealant. Additionally, it plays a role in the production of silicone polymers and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
