A coating system which provides a stain finish on a fiber cement building article. The coating system comprising a sealing agent, a basecoat and a topcoat, wherein the coating system is disposed on at least one surface of the fiber cement building article whereby the sealing agent is disposed adjacent to the at least one surface of the fiber cement building article, the basecoat is disposed on the sealing agent remote from the surface of the fiber cement building article and the topcoat is disposed on the basecoat remote from the fiber cement building article.

A method for making a coating composition by mixing one or more latex polymers and an aliphatic epoxy resin system having an epoxy equivalent weight less than 1000 and being distinct from the one or more latex polymers to provide an aqueous first component, and providing a second component having reactive groups that can react with the one or more epoxy resins. A mixture of the first and second components provides a film-forming curable coating composition that may be used on substrates including cement, cement fiberboard, wood, metal, plastic, ceramic, glass and composites.

A method for producing a building material includes a first step of applying a first ultraviolet-curable paint onto an inorganic material containing a woody reinforcement and incompletely curing the first ultraviolet-curable paint, a second step of applying a second ultraviolet-curable paint and completely curing the second ultraviolet-curable paint, a third step of polishing the completely cured second ultraviolet-curable paint to smoothen a surface of the completely cured second ultraviolet-curable paint, and a fourth step of applying an enamel paint and curing the enamel paint. In the second step, the second ultraviolet-curable paint is applied while the first ultraviolet-curable paint is incompletely cured.

A terrazzo product including a first primer layer on an upper surface of a concrete substrate; a second primer layer on the first primer layer; a seed layer on the second primer layer, the seed layer including one or more of sand and shot; a terrazzo layer on the seed layer, the terrazzo layer including, by weight, 57% calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement, 29% white milk glass, and 14% of one or more of broken mirrored glass and colored glass; a first joint filler in one or more cuts formed in the terrazzo layer; a concrete densifier within one or more of the first joint filler, the terrazzo layer, the seed layer, the second primer layer, the first primer layer, and at least a portion of the concrete substrate; and a sealer on the terrazzo layer and the first joint filler.

Provided is a structure protection sheet that allows for significant shortening of the work period required to place the protection sheet on the surface of a structure such as a concrete structure, that can protect the structure over a long period of time, and that further has excellent strength properties. The structure protection sheet is a sheet to be attached to the surface of a structure and includes, in order, a bonding layer, a polymer-cement hardened layer, and a resin layer.

The present invention is directed to a composition capable of inhibiting moisture vapor emission from concrete structures and enhancing adhesion of a finish material to the concrete structure comprising an aqueous mixture of a first copolymer of mer units formed from vinylidene halide and a C1-C2 alkyl acrylate with a second copolymer of mer units formed from vinylidene halide and a C4-CS alkyl acrylate and to the method of forming a moisture barrier/adhesion promoter coating on concrete comprising applying from 2.8 to 5.6 liters (0.75 to 1.5 gallons) of an aqueous carrier having from 10 to 50 weight percent of the mixture of copolymers stated above per 14 m2 (150 square feet) of the free surface of a concrete structure.

Disclosed is a composite waterproof structure comprising: an inorganic elastic undercoat layer including an inorganic material on a construction surface; a complementary reinforced fiber or chopped fiber layer in the form of a mesh in the middle of an inorganic undercoat body; a first intermediate coat layer disposed on the inorganic elastic undercoat layer; a mesh-type fiber-reinforcing sheet layer attached onto the first intermediate coat layer; first and second impregnated layers provided on the mesh-type fiber-reinforcing sheet layer; a second intermediate coat layer disposed on the first and second impregnated layers; a third intermediate coat layer provided on the second intermediate coat layer; and a first top coat layer.
