The aim of the work was to investigate the prospects of imparting valuable physical and chemical properties, such as corrosion resistance, impact and bending strength, adhesion and storage stability, to hybrid systems of potassium and sodium silicates by modification with organic compounds. Here, we present the results of worldwide activities of scientific teams studying the manufacturing technology of modified liquid glass anticorrosive coatings used in chemical, petrochemical industry and modern construction. The authors theoretically and economically justified and put into practice novel organic and inorganic compositions with increased viability. The durable and waterproof coatings with good adhesion to various substrates (non-ferrous metals, steel, plastered surface and wood) were obtained. The authors demonstrate the possibility of recycling of zinc-containing rongalite production wastes and sludge pastes of electrochemical productions containing alkali and alkaline-earth metal cations by including them into the composition instead of pigmenting solid-phase components. We propose a technological route for obtaining anticorrosion coatings to protect aluminum and its alloys operated in a zone of elevated (up to 673 K) temperatures.
