Abstract
Abstract Pigmented, in situ reduced zinc dichromate coatings on asbestos-cement and similar surfaces are made more reproducible in color by including as at least a portion of the reducing agent a hexitol or pentitol such as sorbitol, or a low alkanolamine, or mixtures of these. An acid like phosphoric acid that forms a water-insoluble calcium salt but does not precipitate the zinc can also be added to the coating formulation.
