The presently claimed invention relates to the use of ionic liquids for stabilizing the viscosity of an aqueous silicate-based coating composition and a method for stabilizing the composition thereof. The presently claimed invention is also directed to an aqueous composition comprising ionic liquids.

A concrete and asphalt repair coating formulation includes a cement component and an aggregate component. The cement component includes a calcium sulfoaluminate cement and a Portland cement. The aggregate component includes coarse aggregates between 125-500 microns in diameter and fine aggregates between 5-62.5 microns in diameter.

A non-polar reaction resin mixture can be used to improve the adhesion of a mortar composition based on radically polymerizable compounds, in particular based on urethane (meth)acrylates, on the surface of semi-cleaned and/or damp boreholes in mineral substrates. The use of a non-polar reaction resin mixture in the corresponding mortar composition reduced the sensitivity thereof to dampness and inadequate cleaning conditions, so that mortar compositions are obtained overall which are characterized by improved robustness against external influences.
