Levasil® FO1440
Colloidal silica for bonding and rigidizing fibers
Levasil® FO1440 is the most commonly used colloidal silica for bonding refractory fibers and rigidizing refractory fiber shapes and boards. Levasil® FO1440 is an economical 40% concentration silica sol of 14 nanometer diameter amorphous silica spheres. The particles carry a slightly negative surface charge with a high surface area to weight ratio for good floccing with Westar+ and Westar+3 cationic starch.


Levasil® FO1440 offers these advantages

Good High Temperature Bonds — Colloidal silica bonds withstand temperatures up to 2300oF with low shrinkage.

Saves Money — Economical 40% concentration reduces freight and package costs over lower concentration sols.

Flocs with Cationic Starch — Negative surface charge flocs cationic starch refractory fibers together to form a three dimensional floc for good product strength.

Rigidizes Effectively — Can be used diluted or full strength for sealing or rigidizing of fiber-bonded shapes.
