Abstract: A novel and highly useful fire resistant solution for application to the surfaces of cellulosic and building materials is described. This solution is easy to prepare and apply and is made from environmentally safe elements. When applied to the surface of these materials and dried, the surface is highly resistant to fire. Buildings made which incorporate products thus coated will survive a fire much longer giving any occupants time to egress therefrom. Additionally, the surfaces of materials that contain this novel and proprietary coating solution will have excellent white color surfaces that can be washed over and over again without substantial loss in fire resistance.

Abstract: A novel solution for adding fire resistance to finely divided wood, cellulosic and fabric containing materials is described. This solution is a particular mixture of silicates of varying viscosity and may be added, in a novel process, to the finely divided wood, cellulosic and fabric containing materials during the manufacture thereof. This is a highly utile method for adding fire resistance and other factors to this material. The finely divided materials may be made from any conventional sources and include waste products. Thus, the products made from combining the solution of this invention with the finely divided materials have high value in use since recycled ingredients are involved. Products made from these mixtures and the finely divided materials include building materials such as panels and tiles as well as insulation materials which can replace the more hazardous fiber glasses.

Abstract: A novel and stable solution that can be applied on already existing cementitious structures or mixed with the cementitious matter prior to casting, is described. This solution is a simple, stable and environmentally safe material containing a sodium silicate, a dispersing agent and water containing a polysiloxane. Structures that have this material coated thereon or mixed therewith exhibit significant resistance to water penetration and resulting corrosion of re-bar elements and spalling of the concrete.
