Disclosed are an intumescent fire-retardant coating with ultra-high corrosion resistance and a preparation method thereof. The fire-retardant coating is composed by water, wetting and dispersing agent, defoaming agent, composite carbon-forming catalyst, composite blowing agent, pentaerythritol, titanium dioxide, Mg(OH).sub.2, mica powder, kaolin, anti-rust pigment, aluminum tripolyphosphate, VAE emulsion, freeze-thaw agent, film-forming aid, and thickener. On the basis of the existing fire-retardant coatings, the present disclosure adds a series of anti-corrosion, heat insulation fillers and salt spray resistance additives to achieve a certain salt spray resistance effect. The fire-retardant coating of the present disclosure has both fire-retardant and anticorrosive functions, does not contain organic solvents, is low in price, has high construction tolerance, and has broad application prospects in the field of intumescent fire-retardant coatings.

Polymer compositions for making stabilized polymeric articles that are resistant to at least one deleterious effect of discoloration, cracking, or crazing upon exposure to UV-C (190-280 nm) light are provided herein, wherein the polymer compositions include: (i) an organic polymeric material; and (ii) a stabilizer composition comprising: an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of hindered phenols, phosphites and phosphonites, and mixtures thereof; and a light stabilizer selected from the group consisting of hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), UV absorbers (UVA), hindered benzoates, and mixtures thereof, even where barium compounds (such as barium salts) are absent from the stabilizer composition, and with the proviso that the HALS is not bis(2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate (TINUVIN™ 770) alone. At least one of reduced discoloration, cracking, or crazing upon exposure to UV-C light is associated with the use of the light stabilizer in combination with the antioxidant compared to the antioxidant in the absence of the light stabilizer. Methods of stabilizing organic polymeric materials against the deleterious effects of UV-C light by adding to the organic polymeric materials the antioxidant and the light stabilizer, are also provided.
