Abstract: Provided are nitrile gloves comprising manganese dioxide, that may have improved permeation resistance, especially improved permeation resistance against hydrogen peroxide. Provided also are methods for preparing the nitrile gloves and improving the permeation resistance of nitrile gloves.

Abstract: A multi-component cementitious composition with at least a binder and a hardener component, wherein the binder component includes ground granulated blast furnace slag and water and wherein the hardener component includes a sodium silicate solution containing at least 42 wt.-%, preferably at least 45 wt.-% or sodium silicate (Na2SiO3). Such multi-component cementitious compositions have been found to provide excellent early strength in excess of 0.5 mPa after hardening for just 2 h with a gel time in the range of 10 to 20 s. In addition the binder components are stable or at least remixable for up to 4 d in the absence of the hardener, which makes them particularly suitable for back filled grouts.
