The present invention relates to a coating on a substrate. It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved coating on a substrate, which coating is to reduce the temperature felt by a person walking on the substrate as well as the actual temperature on the surface. The present invention provides a coating on a substrate that includes an impregnation material, respectively base material, which is adhered on the substrate, a particulate material adhered on the impregnation material, respectively base material, and optionally, a top coat covering an upper surface of the coating, in which the particulate material consists of crushed acrylic paint and/or wherein the particulate material is a platelet-shaped particulate material, and/or wherein the particulate material has an angular or very-angular shape such that the upper surface of the coating has a roughness of between 0.5 mm and 3 mm.

The present invention relates to coated fiber cement products as well as to methods for manufacturing such products. In particular, the present invention provides processes for manufacturing coated fiber cement products, these processes comprising the IN steps of: (i) providing a cured fiber cement product having at least one surface; (ii) applying a primer to the at least one surface of the cured fiber cement product; (iii) providing at least one layer of a radiation curable composition to the at least one surface, which radiation curable composition comprises at least one pigment; and (iv) curing the layer of radiation curable composition by radiation. Finally, the present invention provides coated fiber cement products obtainable by such processes and uses of these fiber cement products as building materials. In particular embodiments, the coated fiber cement products produced by the processes of the present invention can be used to provide an outer surface to walls, both internal as well as external, a building or construction, e.g. as fa?ade plate, siding, roofing element, etc. such as for instance a slate.

A method for adhesively sealing a joint or a surface in or on a building structure that is in contact with chlorinated water, includes the steps: applying a primer composition P onto the surface or into the joint to be sealed; waiting for primer composition P to be cured; applying a moisture-curable sealant composition S onto the cured primer composition P, thus sealing the joint or the surface; and curing the moisture-curable sealant composition S by means of moisture; wherein said primer composition P comprises: at least one polyol and at least one polyisocyanate, or a polyurethane reaction product thereof, and at least one organic solvent; and wherein said moisture-curable sealant composition S includes: between 10 and 60 wt.-%, based on the total composition S, of at least one organic polymer having hydrolysable silane groups, and at least one silane curing catalyst.

Improved coating formulations for cementitious composite building materials are disclosed herein. The coating formulations provide both sealer and primer functions, particularly for substrates in a high alkaline environment, such as fiber cement composite materials. The coating formulations can be applied in a cost-effective single step; exhibit improved adhesion, blocking resistance, water resistance characteristics

A coating composition includes: an aqueous dispersion of self-crosslinkable core-shell particles, where the corm-shell particles include (1) a polymeric core at least partially encapsulated by (2) a polymeric shell having urethane linkages, keto and/or aldo functional groups, and hydrazide functional groups, where the polymeric core is covalently bonded to at least a portion of the polymeric shell, and a hydrophobic additive including a wax and/or a silicon-containing compound, where the hydrophobic additive is non-reactive with the polymeric core and the polymeric shell. A substrate coated with a coating formed from the coating composition and a method for improving stain resistance of a substrate are also disclosed.
