Greater Product Strength
			
				Double the dried and fired strengths than other commonly used colloidal 
				silica binders.
		 
		
			
				Flexibility in Formulation
			
				Creates stronger boards than other sols at silica to starch rations 
				of 1:1 through 4:1.
		 
		
			
				Lower or No Smoke Products
			
				You can use as little as 2% starch and still get excellent floccing 
				and product strength resulting in little or no smoking at elevated 
				use temperatures.
		 
		
			
				Less Shrinkage at High Temperatures
			
				Larger particles and low sodium content creates less sintering and 
				less shrinkage at 2100 - 2300oF use temperatures.
		 
		
			
				Better Rigidizing
			
				Larger silica particles soak in farther and faster for greater hardness 
				throughout.
		 
		
			
				Saves Money
			
				Higher green and fired strength means you can formulate using less 
				starch and silica, lowering material costs.
