A water purifier has a deodorization tank for removing ions and odorants by adsorption from running water and a mesh filter for removing dust. The mesh filter is arranged at a water entrance of the deodorization tank. The deodorization tank contains an anti-bacterial membrane having a function of imparting an antibacterial activity to the water by supplying mineral ions to the running water and thereby alkalifying the water. The deodorization tank also has a water exit which is associated with a mineral supply filter for supplying a mineral component to the running water. The mineral supply filter is prepared by molding a powder obtained by adhering a material such as soda glass to the surface of heat-decomposed calcium carbonate.

An anti-corrosive sealing tape comprising a first layer which exhibits conductivity and is prepared by adding fine zinc powder, magnesium oxide and graphite powder to a rubber base; e.g., a butyl rubber containing curing agents and a second layer which plays a role of reinforcing the first layer with imparting waterproofing or thermal insulating properties thereto. This tape will protect metal pipes or structural members against corrosion when wrapped around them.

Occurence of crevice corrosion on metal surfaces in crevices is prevented by providing an anti-crevice corrosion sealant which comprises a rubbery substrate containing 5-350% by weight of fine zinc powder, 20-100% by weight of magnesium oxide, and 20-200% by weight of electrostatically charged fine graphite powder, each on the basis of the rubbery substrate, in the crevices between parts of stainless steel articles or aluminum alloy articles.

Anti-crevice corrosion sealant and method for anti-crevice corrosion

Anti-crevice corrosion sealants for metals obtained by adding a mixture of zinc powder and dicyclohexylammonium nitrite powder bound by a vinyl silane coupling agent to a film-forming polystyrene dissolved in a solvent can restrain crevice corrosion occurring at crevices or jointed interior surfaces by filling the sealants into a fine crevice formed between the elements of metal machinery and tools or onto the jointed interior surface of the elements.

To prevent erosion-corrosion of capsules moving by means of a fluid through a pipe line, straight chain, macromolecular materials are deposited on the surfaces of capsules before introduction into the pipe line, a corrosion inhibitor is added to the fluid, and said corrosion inhibitor of higher concentration is deposited to the capsules before a temporary exposure to the atmosphere.
