Two-component polycarbonate-based composite products are contemplated in which the composite is formed as the cured reaction product of a polycarbonate polyurethane dispersed within an aqueous colloid along with a coalescent agent, a secondary polymer additive dispersed within the aqueous colloid, and a secondary polymer crosslinker. The aqueous colloidal dispersion may be applied as a coating to a surface that is intended to be coated and subsequently permitted to react and dry, resulting in the formation of a coating at the location at which it is applied. The composite product may be further formulated with additional constituents to be optically clear, glossy, and/or pigmented.

A coating composition includes alkaline mineral particles including an oxide of an alkaline earth metal and an amine-containing polymer. The amine-containing polymer is adsorbed on the alkaline mineral particles. Forming a coating composition includes at least partially coating alkaline mineral particles with an amine-containing polymer and dispersing the alkaline mineral particles in a liquid to yield the coating composition. The alkaline mineral particles include an oxide of an alkaline earth metal.
