A method of coating a surface of a concrete structure in situ, which comprises the step of applying to the surface of the concrete of the concrete structure a liquidous coating of a modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) material in an air dryable solution comprising: a PVDF or a PVDF co-polymer or a combination of PVDF and PVDF copolymer to form a blend with a compatible acrylic and/or other compatible polymer that is fluorinated to between about 30% to about 75% by weight excluding any solvent; the PVDF or PVDF co-polymer or blend thereof having at least about 45% PVDF molecular structure by weight when dried; the PVDF or PVDF co-polymer having a polymer crystallinity of at least about 30% by weight; and a solvent.

A mineral wool or other fibrous product which comprises in at least a surface layer thereof an anticorrosive composition comprising one or more alkali metal silicate components of the formula Me.sub.2O.Math.xSiO.sub.2, wherein x has a value of from 0.5 to 4.0, one or more alkali metal phosphate components of the formula Me.sub.2O:nP.sub.2O.sub.5, wherein n has a value of from 0.33 to 1 and/or hydrates thereof, and one or more carboxylic acids having 6-22 carbon atoms and/or salts thereof.

An anticorrosive composition comprising (a) one or more alkali metal silicate components of the formula Me.sub.2O.Math.xSiO.sub.2, wherein x has a value of from 0.5 to 4.0, (b) one or more alkali metal phosphate components of the formula Me.sub.2O:nP.sub.2O.sub.5, wherein n has a value of from 0.33 to 1 and/or hydrates thereof, (c) one or more carboxylic acids having 6-22 carbon atoms and/or salts thereof: and the use of the composition for imparting anticorrosive properties to a material such as a mineral wool product.

A reinforced composite product of concrete (14) reinforced by reinforcement mesh(s) (13, 13) of an aluminium alloy. where calcium hydroxide of the concrete is absent to avoid or reduce corrosion of the aluminium reinforcement by replacing cement with >35% active pozzolana and that the mesh can be made by slit-stretching or by punching a sheet aluminium metal. The aluminium mesh is advantageous for use as reinforcement in various concrete structures in corrosive environment and where traditional steel meshes are used today.

An anticorrosive composition comprising (a) one or more alkali metal silicate components of the formula Me.sub.2O.Math.xSiO.sub.2, wherein x has a value of from 0.5 to 4.0, (b) one or more alkali metal phosphate components of the formula Me.sub.2O:nP.sub.2O.sub.5, wherein n has a value of from 0.33 to 1 and/or hydrates thereof, (c) one or more carboxylic acids having 6-22 carbon atoms and/or salts thereof: and the use of the composition for imparting anticorrosive properties to a material such as a mineral wool product.

The present disclosure discloses an organic silicon nano-precursor medium transmission inhibitor and its preparation method and use. The organic silicon nano-precursor medium transmission inhibitor is composed of an organic silicon and its derivatives, a catalyst, a dispersant, a stabilizer, a surfactant, and water. The organic silicon nano-precursor medium transmission inhibitor in-situ generates nanoparticles during a hydration process. The nanoparticles not only have a hydrophobic function, but also can effectively fill the pores of the concrete, which effectively solves a problem in which a hydrophobic material in a state of full water cannot reduce the diffusion of an erosive medium. The problems such as uneven dispersion and poor stability of nanoparticles added can be effectively solved by in-situ generating the nanoparticles, thereby effectively improving the ion corrosion resistance performance of the concrete.
