Abstract
Compositions are provided that include at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane. The compositions may further include at least one ionic organosilicon compound. The compositions may be provided in a liquid form. For instance, the compositions may comprise a aqueous dispersion or aqueous solution. Also provided are compositions including soil, at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane, and/or at least one ionic organosilicon compound. Methods of stabilizing soil are also provided that include applying at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane alone or in combination with at least one ionic organosilicon compound.
Claims34
A composition for soil stabilization, comprising:
- (a) at least one ionic organosilicon compound comprising cationic organosilicon compound wherein the cationic organosilicon compound comprises a structure according to the formula:
- wherein
- Y is an alkoxy radical with 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
- ‘a’ has a value of zero;
- R″ is propylene;
- R′″ is methyl or ethyl;
- R″″ and Rv are identical or different alkyl groups containing from one to twenty-two carbon atoms, wherein at least one of R′″ and R″″ is larger is larger than eight carbon atoms, and X is a halide, acetate, or tosylate;
- and
- (b) at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane provided in liquid form, wherein the at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane comprises a transesterified alkoxy silane, an amino-functional silane, or a combination thereof, and wherein the at least one ionic organosilicon compound is dissolved or dispersed within the at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane;
- wherein the composition comprises a liquid and provides a hydrophobic coating upon application to a substrate.
A composition, comprising:
- (a) at least one transesterified alkoxy silane having at least a first hydroxy-containing alkoxy radical, wherein an oxygen atom of the first hydroxy-containing alkoxy radical is bonded directly to a silicon atom;
- and
- (b) soil, wherein the soil is rendered hydrophobic by the at least one transesterified alkoxy silane;
- wherein the composition comprises a maximum dry density (MDD) of at least about 1.5 gm/cc when measured at a dosage of the at least one transesterified alkoxy silane being 1.6 kg/m3.
A composition for soil stabilization, comprising:
- (a) at least one ionic organosilicon compound;
- and
- (b) at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane provided in liquid form, wherein the at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane comprises a transesterified alkoxy silane having at least a first hydroxy-containing alkoxy radical, wherein an oxygen atom of the first hydroxy-containing alkoxy radical is bonded directly to a silicon atom of the at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane;
- wherein the composition provides a hydrophobic coating upon application to a substrate, and wherein a weight ratio between the at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane and the at least one ionic organosilicon compound is from 70:30 to 50:50.
A composition for soil stabilization, comprising:
- (a) at least one ionic organosilicon compound comprising a structure according to formula:
- Y is an alkoxy radical or a hydroxyl-containing alkoxy radical;
- ‘a’ has a value of 0, 1, or 2;
- R′ is an alkyl radical;
- R″ is an alkylene group;
- R′″, R″″, and Rv are identical or different alkyl groups, wherein at least one or R′″, R″″, and Rv has more than eight carbon atoms;
- X is chloride, bromide, fluoride, iodide, acetate or tosylate;
- (b) at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane, wherein the at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane comprises a transesterified alkoxy silane, an amino-functional silane, or a combination thereof;
- wherein the composition comprises a liquid and provides a hydrophobic coating upon application to a substrate;
- wherein a weight ratio between the at least one water soluble non-ionic organosilane and the at least one ionic organosilicon compound is from 70.30 to 50:50.
