Abstract
Content

Liquid and paste polyorganosiloxane formulations (which become high-temperature- and oxidation-resistant organosilicone-based ceramics upon curing) have been invented for use in (1) protecting porous, lightweight ceramic thermal insulation materials against aeroconvective thermal degradation and (2) repairing and bonding such materials. These formulations were originally intended especially for application to the fibrous refractory composite insulation (FRCI) tiles that protect parts of the space shuttles during re-entry into the terrestrial atmosphere; they may also be suitable for application to similar insulating tiles in laboratory and industrial furnaces.
