Surface coatings and methods

摘要

Provided are methods and compositions pertaining to coatings (e.g., paints) for covering a substrate. In some aspects and embodiments the coatings may include a heat reflective metal oxide pigment that, applied to an external surface of a building (or applied on a substrate used for an external surface of a building) reduces energy consumption in the building. In other aspects and embodiments, provided are textured coatings having a texturing material; e.g., methods and compositions are provided pertaining to textured coatings that can be applied robotically or in an automated fashion. In various aspects and embodiments, textured coatings are provided that include a texturing material and a heat reflective metal oxide pigment. In some aspects and embodiments coatings are provided that include pumice texturing materials (e.g., pumice having particle sizes of greater than 150 microns).

主权项

1. A liquid textured coating comprising a heat reflective metal oxide pigment and a texturing material; wherein
said texturing material comprises particles of at least about 150 microns; said heat reflective metal oxide pigment comprises one or more pigments selected from the group consisting of a pigment having a corundum-hematite crystal lattice structure, a pigment having a spinel crystal lattice structure and a pigment having a nickel titanate rutile structure; said liquid textured coating is suitable for application to a substrate; and said heat reflective pigment is present in a concentration between about 0.1-12% by weight.
