Abstract: A remedial composition comprising a soluble silicate, a surfactant, a polyol and water is disclosed. The remedial composition of the present invention is generally intended for use in the treatment of soil, sand, water, fly ash and other mediums that may contain hazardous materials. In one embodiment of the present invention the soluble silicate of the remedial composition has a mole ratio of about 2.6 to about 3.9 moles silicate per mole of alkali metal oxide. In another embodiment of the present invention the remedial composition will have a pH level ranging from about 10.5 to about 11.9. In another embodiment the water component further comprises from about 0.5% to about 15% dissolved oxygen (O2). In another embodiment of the present invention the remedial composition may be further diluted by adding water to create various solutions comprising about 1 to 300 parts water to 1 part remedial composition.

Abstract: A multipurpose cleaner composition comprising a soluble silicate, a surfactant, a polyol and water is disclosed. The multipurpose cleaner composition of the present invention is generally intended for cleaning schools, offices, homes and other locations; and in particular, all types of surfaces including wood, carpet, tile, concrete and glass. In one embodiment of the present invention the soluble silicate of the multipurpose cleaner composition has a mole ratio of at least 2.5 moles of silicate per mole of alkali metal oxide. In another embodiment of the present invention the multipurpose cleaner composition will have a pH level ranging from about 10.5 to about 11.9. In another embodiment of the present invention the multipurpose cleaner composition may be further diluted by adding water to create various solutions comprising about 1 part water to 1 part multipurpose cleaner composition up to about 500 parts water to 1 part multipurpose cleaner composition.

Abstract: An increased water repellency is imparted to wood and other cellulosic materials with an aqueous solution containing a mixture of an aluminum halohydrate and a water soluble salt of a mono, di or trivalent cation selected from zinc, manganese, barium, calcium, cobalt, magnesium, nickel, copper, cadmium, strontium, beryllium, lead, mercury, chromium, sodium, lithium, and potassium and a monovalent anion selected from formate acetate, haloacetate, acrylate, methacrylate, propionate, chloro and bromo-propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate, nitrate, sulfamate, iodide, bromide, and chloride, said water soluble salt excluding the nitrates, sulfamates, chlorides and bromides of sodium, potassium and lithium.

Abstract: An aqueous copper chromate concentrate substantially free of sulfate anions is provided which can be diluted for use as a wood preservative. The concentrate is formed of a hexavalent chromium compound, a bivalent copper compound, and an acid selected from nitric, sulfamic, fluosilicic, fluoboric and mixtures wherein the total oxide content of CuO and CrO.sub.3 is from 25 to 60%.

Abstract: Aqueous wood- and paper-treating solutions are provided of hexavalent chromium and, optionally, copper or copper-arsenic mixtures with aluminum halohydrates in an acid medium which provide increased water repellency.
