Abstract

The present disclosure relates to corrosion resistant coating compositions, kits and methods of applying the same, for use as fireproofing materials. The corrosion resistant spray applied fire resistant material contains an organic corrosion inhibitors, such as an aldonic acid, benzoic acid, or combinations thereof, to reduce or eliminate corrosion of the underlying substrate.

Claims (31)

1. A fireproofing composition comprising:

(i) a binder selected from the group consisting of portland cement, pozzolanas, pozzolanic cement, quicklime, plaster and calcium aluminate cement, wherein the binder is between 40 and 70 wt. % of the fireproofing composition,

(ii) a filler, wherein the filler is between 35 and 70 wt. % of the fireproofing composition, and

(iii) at least one organic corrosion inhibitor selected from an aldonic acid or a salt thereof, a benzoic acid or a salt thereof, or combinations thereof, wherein the at least one organic corrosion inhibitor is between 0.03 and 0.3 wt. % of the fireproofing composition, and

wherein the fireproofing composition has a density between 40 and 80 pounds per cubic foot.

2. The fireproofing composition of claim 1 wherein the filler is selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, iron oxide, tin oxide, antimony oxide, ferrites, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide, basic magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, zinc carbonate, barium carbonate, dawsonite, hydrotalcite, calcium sulfate, barium sulfate, gypsum fiber, potassium salt, calcium silicate, vermiculite, kaolin, mica, talc, clay, montmorillonite, bentonite, activated clay, sepiolite, imogolite, sericite, glass fiber, glass beads, ceramic beads, silica series balloon, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, silicon nitride, carbon black, graphite, carbon fiber, carbon balloon, charcoal powder, metal powder, potassium titanate, magnesium sulfate, lead zirconate titanate, aluminum borate, molybdenum sulfide, silicon carbide, stainless fiber, zinc borate, magnetic powder, inorganic series phosphorus compound, silica-alumina fiber, alumina fiber, silica fiber, and zirconia fiber.

3. The fireproofing composition of claim 1 comprising both an aldonic acid or a salt thereof and a benzoic acid or a salt thereof.

4. The fireproofing composition of claim 1 further comprising an alkali silicate.

5. The fireproofing composition of claim 1 wherein the set time is less than about 50% greater than the set time of a similar composition not containing an organic corrosion inhibitor.

6. The fireproofing composition of claim 1 wherein the strength of the fireproofing is increased by at least about 5% as compared to a similar fireproofing not containing an organic corrosion inhibitor.

7. An article comprising:

(i) a metal substrate, and

(ii) a coating composition of claim 1 on the metal substrate.

8. The article of claim 7 wherein the corrosion of the metal substrate is decreased by at least about 10% as compared to a similar composition not containing an organic corrosion inhibitor.

9. A method of producing a fireproofing composition, the method comprising:

(i) forming a slurry with a coating composition of claim 1 and water;

(ii) conveying the slurry to a length of hose;

(iii) introducing an amount of gas into the slurry in the length of hose at a flow rate and pressure sufficient to cause the slurry to foam and to convey the foam through the length of hose.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising spray applying the foam to a substrate and allowing it to harden on the substrate.

11. A method of reducing corrosion of a metal containing substrate, the method comprising:

(i) providing a metal containing substrate;

(ii) coating the substrate with a fireproofing composition of claim 1 .

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the corrosion of the fireproofing coated metal containing substrate is decreased by at least about 10% as compared to a similar composition not containing an organic corrosion inhibitor.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the strength of the fireproofing coated metal containing substrate is increased by at least about 5% as compared to a similar fireproofing not containing an organic corrosion inhibitor.

14. A fireproofing composition comprising:

(i) a binder, which is selected from the group consisting of portland cement, pozzolanas, pozzolanic cement, quicklime, plaster and calcium aluminate cement,

(ii) a filler, and

(iii) an alkali silicate,

wherein the quantity of alkali silicate is between 0.06 and 0.6 wt. %, and

wherein the composition has a density between 40 and 80 pounds per cubic foot.

15. The fireproofing composition of claim 14 , further comprising at least one organic corrosion inhibitor selected from an aldonic acid or a salt thereof, or a benzoic acid or a salt thereof.
