The present disclosure relates to corrosion resistant coating compositions, kits and methods of applying the same, for use as fireproofing materials. The corrosion resistant spray applied fire resistant material contains an organic corrosion inhibitors, such as an aldonic acid, benzoic acid, or combinations thereof, to reduce or eliminate corrosion of the underlying substrate.

Methods of making permeable aerogels (100) can include providing a sol mixture (110) comprising an organic scaffold, an inorganic aerogel precursor, and a first solvent. The organic scaffold can be insoluble in the first solvent. The sol mixture can react to form a gel (120) such that an interconnected channel network is formed which is at least partially defined by the organic scaffold. The first solvent in the gel can be exchanged (130) with a second solvent. The second solvent can dissolve the organic scaffold to expose the interconnected channel network. The gel can be dried (140) to form the permeable aerogel.

A regulating cementitious material for promoting hydration of Portland cement is provided. The regulating cementitious material may include ingredients by weight as follows: ye'elimite, 27˜68 parts; anhydrite, 29˜68 parts; lithium nitrite, 2˜5 parts; ethylene glycol monoisopropanolamine, 0.14˜0.29 parts; triethanolamine acetate, 0.04˜0.09 parts; and polyglycerol, 0.04˜0.09 parts. An early strength of Portland cement can be improved through a cooperative hydration between minerals and an enhanced solubilization of a complexing agent.

A method for the application of hydrous mineral binder compositions which contain fibres. An aqueous accelerator is mixed with the aqueous binder composition in a mixer shortly before the application. The method is very robust and makes it possible to quickly produce even large moulded bodies having a uniform surface and very good strength development properties.
