Abstract
Described herein is a coated building panel that comprises a side surface that is textured and exhibits a white and/or color. The building panel comprising an upper surface opposite a lower surface and a side surface extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, a coating applied to the side surface, the coating comprising an inorganic particle having a disk shape and an ionic dispersant comprising an ionic group that are present on a repeating unit and the ionic dispersant comprising at least two of the repeating units.
Claims20
A method of forming a building panel having an edge coating, the method comprising:
- a) providing a body having an upper surface opposite a lower surface and a side surface extending between the upper surface and the lower surface;
- b) creating a first coating by applying a multi-functional coating composition to the side surface of the body according to a first application parameter;
- c) creating a second coating by applying the multi-functional coating composition to the first coating according to a second application parameter;
- and
- c) drying the multi-functional coating composition for a drying period to form the edge coating, the edge coating having less than about 1 wt. % of the liquid carrier;
- and
- wherein the multi-functional coating composition comprises a liquid carrier, an inorganic particle having a disk-shape, and an ionic dispersant, the multi-functional coating composition having a solid's content ranging from about 70 wt. % to about 95 wt. % based on the total weight of the multi-functional coating composition.
