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.

Method for handling a slag pot or ladle or pyro-metallurgical tools comprising the steps of spraying a mineral suspension onto a wall and putting into service of said slag pot or ladle or of the pyro-metallurgical tool, wherein said mineral suspension comprises calcium particles in suspension in an aqueous phase forming a calcium particle slurry containing a carbon hydrate at a content between 0.2 and 3%.

A composition of matter enhances friction of a surface covered with snow or ice. The composition includes particles of limestone and particles of volcanic rock, the particles having a size in a range of about 0.125-1.0 inches, and more preferably 0.125-0.25 inches. Limestone is present in the composition in a percentage of about 53-67%, by weight, and volcanic rock is present in a percentage of about 33-47%, by weight. The components are thoroughly mixed to form a homogeneous mixture. When the composition is applied to a snow-covered or ice-covered surface, the coefficient of friction of the surface increases so much that the surface can be considered a non-slip surface.
