Abstract
An emulsion composition includes an acrylic polymer, a metal silicate, and water. Advantageously, the emulsion composition provides coatings with superior adhesion of coatings to a concrete, clay, or ceramic substrate. In particular, the emulsion composition provides improved adhesion of the silicate primer to the concrete, clay, or ceramic substrate and strong cohesion between the primer and top coat paint allow for a much better overall performance. A method for applying the emulsion composition is also provided.
Claims22
An emulsion composition comprising:
- an acrylic polymer in an amount from about 8 to 30 weight percent;
- and
- a metal silicate in an amount from about 4 to 10 weight percent;
- and
- water.
A method comprising:
- a) applying an emulsion composition to a concrete, clay, or ceramic substrate to form an undried coated substrate, the emulsion composition comprising:
- an acrylic polymer in an amount from about 8 to 30 weight percent;
- and
- a metal silicate in an amount from about 4 to 10 weight percent;
- and
- water;
- and
- b) allowing the undried coated substrate to at least partially dry to form a dried coated substrate.
