Abstract
Abstract A thermal shock-resistant zinc oxide-pigmented silicate paint comprising zinc oxide pigment admixed with a silicate solution, preferably an aqueous alkali silicate solution, is rendered shock-resistant by heat-treating the zinc oxide powder generally obtained as ''''zinc white'''' when Zn fumes are condensed in air or O2 - prior to admixture of the powder with the silicate solution. The preferred heat treatment, in the range 600-900*C, produces pigment powder having a particle size distribution ranging from 0.1-1.0 microns up to 0.5-3.0 microns.
