Described herein is a water vapor barrier coating composition that is especially useful for paper-based packaging applications. The composition includes a basecoat layer and a topcoat layer that are applied to fibrous substrates in sequential order as aqueous coatings. The basecoat layer is applied and dried and then the topcoat layer is applied and dried. The basecoat layer includes an aqueous solution of ethylenically modified polyvinyl alcohol and optionally a plasticizer. The topcoat layer includes an aqueous polymeric dispersion or emulsion, compatibilized with the base layer by adding a small percentage of ethylenically modified polyvinyl alcohol solution, and optionally a viscosity modifier, defoamer, release agent, slip agent, crosslinker, and/or anti-blocking additive. The composition includes a synergistic interaction between the basecoat and the topcoat. The composition is optionally biodegradable and/or compostable, along with a coated paper stock, without the need to separate and reprocess the coating.

Termicidal compositions containing cold pressed orange oil with high concentration D-Limonene and acrylic lacquer for protective repellents against termite infestation and termiticides for the control of termites are provided. Wood preservative and protective compositions for repelling and killing wood boring insects are provided. In addition, the invention is directed to methods for repelling and killing termites by applying a pesticidally-effective amount of the above pesticidal compositions to cellulosic materials where pest control is desired.

Aqueous formulations containing antimicrobial materials dispersed in solutions or emulsions, methods of their preparation, application of such compositions to surfaces, and their resulting coatings. Coating of hydrophobic surfaces with aqueous solutions or suspensions containing antimicrobial materials are disclosed. Several applications of the antimicrobial coatings are described including the coating of solid and porous substrates such as fabrics which may be used for gowns, masks, and other personal protection equipment.

To provide a blast furnace slag-type paint using a liquid inorganic material composed of a fluid suspension.

A blast furnace slag-type two-part paint in which a stabilized aqueous suspension containing the following blast furnace slags is contained as the main agent, an alkaline liquid having dissolved therein sodium silicate, sodium carbonate, or potassium carbonate that induces a hydraulic reaction of the suspension serves as the hydraulic reaction inducer, and the main agent and the hydraulic reaction inducer are separately packaged.

<Components of the main agent> (A) 0.5 to 42% by weight of a high-blast-furnace-slag-content blast furnace slag having a blast furnace slag content of 60% or more with respect to the total weight of the blast furnace slag; (B) 0.1 to 20% by weight of a blocking agent containing a phosphorus-containing compound; (C) 0.3 to 5%, preferably 0.3 to 2.5% of a blocking agent differing from a phosphorus-containing compound; (D) water retention agent; others.
