By product of condensation reaction between silicone base and alkyl silicate in presence of tin octate_______________?

Correct answer: A. Ethyl alcohol

  • A. Ethyl alcohol
  • B. Glycol
  • C. Acetate
  • D. Propanolol

Explanation

Condensation silicone reacts with an alkyl silicate cross-linker and releases ethyl alcohol as a volatile by-product. Loss of this alcohol accounts for the greater shrinkage and poorer dimensional stability of condensation silicones.
