Abstract
A composition based on a certain chromium-free silicate-based binder is described. The one-part slurry composition is an aqueous solution of lithium-doped potassium silicate in combination with an aluminum or aluminum alloy powder. The one-part slurry composition produces a corresponding coating exhibiting improved performance at a reduced coating thickness.
