Abstract
The invention relates to hydrophobic compositions and to a method for preparing hydrophobic compositions by mixing an aqueous suspension of finely divided solids containing dissolved salts of metals with an aqueous solution of alkali metal organosiliconates to form substantially water insoluble metal organosiliconates.
Claims3
A method for treating finely divided solids to impart hydrophobic properties thereto which comprises coating said finely divided solids with a substantially water insoluble metal organosiliconate by contacting an aqueous solution of finely divided solids containing a dissolved metal salt selected from the class consisting of beryllium, magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal organosiliconate in which 1.0 to 2 equivalents of metal are present per equivalent of alkali metal in the alkali metal organosiliconate to form a coating thereon and thereafter separating the coated finely divided solids from the aqueous medium.
