Waste flax straw from the harvesting of flaxseeds from flax plants is processed to produce a flax straw substrate. The flax straw substrate includes a mixture of flax fibers and flax shives. A binding agent is mixed with the flax straw substrate to produce a wet flax straw substrate mixture. The wet flax straw substrate mixture is deposited into a form. Heat and pressure are applied to the form to cure the binding agent, creating a flax straw based building material.

A dispersion of an alkyd-containing polymer dispersed in water is used to form a waterborne coating composition; the alkyd-containing polymer being an acrylic-modified alkyd polymer, a silicone-acrylic-modified alkyd polymer, or a mixture thereof. The resulting waterborne coating composition includes about 2 to about 30% by weight of one or more thermal insulating fillers with the remainder being the alkyd-containing dispersion, such that the coating composition contains about 30 to about 80% by weight of the water and about 2 to about 50% by weight of the alkyd-containing polymer. The coating applied therefrom exhibits at least one of the following properties: a thermal conductivity that is less than 100 mW/mK; a weight retention of at least 70% after being heated up to 400 C as measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) with a heating rate of 20 C/min.; or a weight loss of less than 50% up to a temperature of 470 C as measured by the TGA.

The invention relates to the technical field of artificial stone surfaces, in particular to an artificial glass surface, which is made from the following raw materials in parts by mass: 0-30 parts of a quartz material, 40-70 parts of a glass material, 5-15 parts of a modified silicone resin, 8-15 parts of an unsaturated polyester resin, and 5-14 parts of additional raw materials. The artificial glass surface employs recycled glass material as its main stone source, which contributes the conservation of mineral resources, and reduces production costs; the product is of higher quality.
