Abstract: A multi-functional aqueous protective treatment for wood substrates. The treatment comprises an aqueous solution of a zirconyl compound and incorporated bio-active constituents, providing protection against bio-degradation of wood and against degradation of aesthetic value of applied wood coatings by spontaneous staining and also protects against termites or other “in-depth” bio-degradation factors.

Abstract: A corrosion-inhibiting composition for application to a metal substrate, such as aluminum or steel, and in connection with a paint, and the synthesis of the composition is disclosed.

Abstract: A process for producing a strontium chromate corrosion inhibitor includes the steps of providing an aqueous slurry containing dispersed particulate strontium chromate, adding to the slurry a phosphoric acid or a neutral or acidic soluble salt of a phosphoric acid selected from the group consisting of ortho-phosphoric, pyro-phosphoric, tri-phosphoric, polyphosphoric, metaphosphoric, polymetaphosphoric, cyclic tri-metaphosphoric acid, and phosphorous acid, and, filtering and drying the resultant material whereby particulate strontium chromate of reduced solubility is produced.

Abstract: Improved corrosion preventive pigment grade zinc cyanamide suitable for protective coatings is prepared by providing a hydrated slurry of finely divided, dispersed basic zinc carbonate, mixing with said slurry a stabilized soluble aqueous solution of hydrogen cyanamide to form zinc cyanamide having a crystalline structure characterized by the presence of an intense IR absorption spectral band at 2200 cm.sup.-1 and the substantial absence of component bands at 2050 cm.sup.-1 and 700 cm.sup.-1.
