Abstract:
Described is a method for producing a coating with an aqueous coating composition AC, the method comprising the following steps: a) applying the aqueous coating composition AC to a cementitious substrate; b) curing the applied aqueous coating composition AC; wherein the aqueous coating composition AC comprises at least one amino-functional vinyl copolymer VC and at least one epoxy silane ES and the coating composition has a pH of 3 - 6.5 and the weight ratio between amino-functional vinyl copolymer VC and epoxy silane ES (VC/ES) is from 1.0 - 9.5. Since the composition displays self-etching properties on concrete surfaces, cementitious substrates do not have to be mechanically or chemically pretreated before the composition is applied.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of coating compositions for coating fibre cement boards, which contain at least one acrylate based aqueous polymer dispersions as a binder. The present invention further relates to specific acrylate based aqueous polymer dispersions and to a process for preparing these specific acrylate based aqueous polymer dispersions.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to coloured fiber cement products as well as to methods for manufacturing such products. In particular, the present invention provides fiber cement products that are coloured in the mass, which fiber cement products at least comprise on at least part of their outer surface one or more cured layers of a coating composition, which composition at least comprises a binder and a pigment and/or a filler and is characterized by a pigment volume concentration (PVC) of between about 1% and about 20%. The present invention further provides processes for producing these coated fiber cement products that are coloured in the mass. Finally, the present invention provides uses of the coloured fiber cement products as building materials. In particular embodiments, the 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 façade plate, siding, etc.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a laminated film for forming a concrete surface coating layer, which is excellently protective in protecting concrete surfaces from damage, and has excellent surface smoothness for improving design characteristics by smoothing the concrete surface. The laminated film for forming a concrete surface coating layer (10) of the present invention results from laminating a layer comprising a curable resin composition (1) and a support film (2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to an aqueous composition for repairing and/or sealing of hardened concrete structures, the aqueous composition comprising colloidal silica and polycarboxylate ether.
Abstract:
A building board includes an inorganic board having a surface covered by an insulating coating film containing a coating film forming material and organic hollow particles, wherein the organic hollow particles have an average particle size in the range of 5 to 50 µm and an average hollow ratio of 80% or more, and the insulating coating film contains 0.01 to 5.0 parts by mass of the organic hollow particles per 100 parts by mass of solid content thereof, and has an average thickness of 5 to 500 µm. The method for producing a building board includes: applying, onto a surface of an inorganic board, an insulating coating material containing a coating film forming material and organic hollow particles; and drying the insulating coating material to form an insulating coating film.
Abstract:
The preparation of cementitious articles with a high surface finish, useful for the preparation of electrical devices, in particular photovoltaic devices, is described. The process involves exposing a prefabricated cementitious article to specific temperature and pressure intervals, for a given time period, and then coating the article thus treated with a polymer film, preferably based on polyimide, in specific quantities. Heat-resistant cementitious surfaces with a low, controlled and regular roughness, without point- like defects, suitable for the deposition of additional thin films, in particular metallic films and absorbent films, typically used for the manufacture of photovoltaic cells and/ or modules, are obtained.
