Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to pigmentary hardener-containing curable silicate compositions having improved water resistance, wherein the pigmentary hardener has the formula M x M y 'O z where M is a divalent or trivalent metal ion, M' is an ion of a metal from Groups III, IV or VIB of the Periodic Table of Elements, provided M and M' are not the same metal ion, x is 1 or 2, y is 1, 2 or 3 and z is an integer the value of which satisfies the oxidation state of the pigmentary hardener.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A curable composition, consisting essentially of: (a) an aqueous solution or dispersion of an alkali metal or quaternary ammonium silicate; (b) a cure promoting amount of a latent metal ion containing insolubilizing agent; and (c) a pigmentary hardener corresponding to the formula M.sub.x M'.sub.y O.sub.z where M is a divalent or trivalent metal ion, M' is a metal ion from Group III, IV or VIB of the Periodic Table of Elements, provided M and M' are not the same metal ion, x is 1 or 2, y is 1, 2 or 3 and z is an integer the value of which satisfies the oxidation state of the pigmentary hardener, wherein the amount of the pigmentary hardener ranges from about 1 part to about 300 parts based on 100 parts of the alkali metal or quaternary ammonium silicate solids.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
138 words
A curable composition, consisting essentially of: (a) an aqueous solution or dispersion of an alkali metal or quaternary ammonium silicate; (b) a cure promoting amount of a latent metal ion containing insolubilizing agent; and (c) a pigmentary hardener corresponding to the formula M.sub.x M'.sub.y O.sub.z where M is a divalent or trivalent metal ion, M' is a metal ion from Group III, IV or VIB of the Periodic Table of Elements, provided M and M' are not the same metal ion, x is 1 or 2, y is 1, 2 or 3 and z is an integer the value of which satisfies the oxidation state of the pigmentary hardener, wherein the amount of the pigmentary hardener ranges from about 1 part to about 300 parts based on 100 parts of the alkali metal or quaternary ammonium silicate solids.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The curable composition as in claim 1 where the silicate is selected from the group consisting of lithium silicate, potassium silicate, sodium silicate, quaternary ammonium silicate and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The composition as in claim 2 wherein M is selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium, zinc, aluminum and ferric iron.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The composition as in claims 2 or 3 where M' is selected from the group consisting of boron, aluminum, silicon, tin, titanium, zirconium, chromium and molybdenum.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
The composition as in claims 1 or 2 where the pigmentary hardener is selected from the group consisting of barium metaborate, calcium borate, calcium silicate, aluminum borate and mixtures thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition as in claim 5 where the pigmentary hardener is barium metaborate.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
38 words
The composition as in claim 1 where the amount of insolubilizing agent ranges from about 0.1 percent to about 5.0 percent based upon the combined weight of the alkali metal or quaternary ammonium silicate solids and insolubilizing agent.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
15 words

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
15 words
A coated article coated with a cured coating formed from the composition of claim 1.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
10 words
A molded article formed from the composition of claim 1.
