The present invention relates to a coating material for the production of an anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer, which material comprises metal powder and a phosphate-ion-containing solution as the binder, the metal powder being at least partially coated with Si or Si alloys or the binder consisting of phosphoric acid and metal phosphates and being substantially free of chromates. The invention further relates to a method for producing an anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer, comprising the following steps: Providing a coating material, such as indicated above, applying the coating material to a component surface on which the anti-corrosion and/or adhesion promoter layer is to be created, and drying and/or hardening by way of a heat treatment at a first temperature.

Use of a geopolymer in a coating composition for a building construction component, a coated component for use in building construction wherein the coating comprises a geopolymer, a method of coating a component comprising applying a curable geopolymer mixture to a surface of the component and curing the mixture to form a cured geopolymer coating, and the use of a geo polymer as a mortar.

A coating process comprising applying to a surface a coating composition consisting essentially of an alkali metal silicate and an aqueous liquid phase having dispersed therein solid aluminum particles to form on the surface a wet coating; and drying said wet coating: under conditions which convert said wet coating to an electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant, solid coating; or under conditions which form a solid coating which is not electrically conductive (non-conductive) and thereafter treating said non-conductive coating under conditions which convert said non-conductive coating to an electrically conductive, corrosion-resistant coating.

An organic-inorganic composite including: a plurality of anisotropic ceramic particles having different aspect ratios; a resin that is combined with the ceramic particles; and a plurality of projections projecting out from the surface of the ceramic particles, thereby increasing the shear resistance of the interface between the ceramic particles and the resin. At least some of the ceramic particles neighboring each other are closely arranged such that the projections partially contact each other, thereby increasing the shear resistance between the ceramic particles due to the contacting ceramic particles.

A pre-coating agent composition for a grain-oriednted electrical steel sheet, a grain-oriednted electrical steel sheet including the same, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. Particularly, a pre-coating agent composition for a grain-oriednted electrical steel sheet including an acid containing boron (B); and a solvent, a grain-oriednted electrical steel sheet including the same, and a manufacturing method thereof are provided.

A corrosion-resistant cover system, having a corrosion-resistant cover structured and configured to be arrangeable around an object having one or more metallic surfaces that are susceptible to corrosion. The corrosion-resistant cover is operable to provide increased corrosion resistance to the object by preventing contact between the one or more metallic surfaces and ambient conditions exterior to the corrosion-resistant cover.

The invention relates to a new inorganic polymer which is based on modified water glass, is characterized by numerous unusual properties and can be used as a substitute for, for example, concrete, cement, and ceramics.

An electrical grounding assembly includes an electrically conductive metal grounding plate, and a corrosion-protective jacket enclosing the grounding plate.
