Abstract
An aqueous, alkaline, inorganic composition, comprising water-soluble alkali metal silicate and zinc hydroxychloride, is used to coat substrates normally infested by algae, such as silicate-containing building material, e.g., concrete roofing tiles, to prevent or minimize algal infestation on said substrates, said algae otherwise imparting a dark, unsightly appearance thereto.

Claims

What is claimed is:

1. An inorganic coating composition comprising about 55 to 70 weight percent water, a water-soluble alkali metal silicate, and zinc hydroxychloride of the formula Zn.sub.5 (OH).sub.8 Cl.sub.2, in an amount of at least 0.5 mole for each mole of said alkali metal silicate, said composition upon being applied as a coating and dried at ambient temperatures of about 60.degree. to 100.degree. F. forming a hard, durable, water-insoluble, water-permeable, weather-resistant, inorganic, algicidal coating.

2. An inorganic coating composition comprising about 55 to 70 weight percent water, a water-soluble sodium silicate having an Na.sub.2 O:SiO.sub.2 weight ratio of 1:2.75 to 1:3.75 and zinc hydroxychloride of the formula Zn.sub.5 (OH).sub.8 Cl.sub.2.H.sub.2 O in an amount of about 0.5 to 1.0 mole for each mole of said sodium silicate, said composition upon being applied as a coating and dried at ambient temperature of 60.degree. to 100.degree. F. forming a hard, durable, water-insoluble, water-permeable, weather-resistant, inorganic, algicidal coating.

3. A coating composition containing about 55 to 70 weight percent water, sodium silicate and about 0.8 to 1 mole of zinc hydroxychloride per mole of sodium silicate, said composition being formed by mixing an aqueous inorganic solution containing 25 to 35 weight percent water-soluble sodium silicate, having an Na.sub.2 O:SiO.sub.2 weight ratio of 1:2.75 to 1:3.75, with an aqueous paste comprising 35 to 55 weight percent zinc hydroxychloride, of the formula Zn.sub.5 (OH).sub.8 Cl.sub.2.H.sub.2 O, said composition upon being applied as a coating and dried at ambient temperature of 60.degree. to 100.degree. F. forming a hard, durable, water-insoluble, water-permeable, weather-resistant, inorganic, algicidal coating.

4. An inorganic coating composition comprising about 55 to 70 weight percent water, a water-soluble sodium silicate having an NaO.sub.2 :SiO.sub.2 weight ratio of 1:3.22 and zinc hydroxychloride of the formula Zn.sub.5 (OH).sub.8 Cl.sub.2.H.sub.2 O in an amount of about 0.5 to 1.0 mole for each mole of said sodium silicate, said composition upon being applied as a coating and dried at an ambient temperature of 60.degree. to 100.degree. F. forming a hard, durable, water-insoluble, water-permeable, weather-resistant, inorganic, algicidal coating.
