Abstract: A method that includes coating a liquid aqueous silicone elastomer-containing composition onto an architectural surface, a signage surface, a built landscape surface or a commercial super structure surface, and then drying the liquid aqueous silicone elastomer-containing composition resulting in forming a silicone elastomer-containing anti-graffiti coating on the architectural surface, the signage surface, the built landscape surface, or the commercial super structure surface.

Abstract: A method including coating a liquid aqueous silicone elastomer-containing composition onto a surface of a building roof substrate, wherein the building roof substrate is an element of a standing building roofing system, and then drying the liquid aqueous silicone elastomer-containing composition resulting in forming a topcoat on the building roof substrate.

Abstract: A method including digital printing a heat curable aqueous composition onto a substrate, wherein the composition includes: (a) at least one water soluble synthetic alkali metal silicate; and (b)(i) at least one pigment or (b)(ii) at least one additive selected from aluminum oxide, ceramic microspheres, recycled ground glass, or calcium carbonate; wherein the composition is substantially free of any organic solvent; and heating the composition bearing substrate thereby curing the composition, and wherein the substrate includes a material selected from glass, ceramic, textile, polymeric, metal, wood, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A method comprising applying a reflective silicone-containing composition to at least a portion of a surface of at least one architectural substrate, wherein the silicone-containing composition-applied surface faces an exterior wall of a building or an exterior roof of a building.

Abstract: A heat curable aqueous composition comprising: (a) water; (b) at least 5 wt % sodium pyrophosphate, at least 5 wt % sodium phosphate monobasic, at least 5 wt % sodium triphosphate, at least 5 wt % monoammonium phosphate, at least 5 wt % diammonium phosphate, or at least 5 wt % of a mixture thereof, based on the total weight of the composition including the weight of the water; and (c) at least one pigment, or at least one metal-containing ingredient, or a mixture of at least one pigment and at least one metal-containing ingredient.

Abstract: A process of coating a glass substrate with a ceramic-like tough film, as well as the composite product of said process is disclosed. The process comprises forming, by conventional coating methods, a film of an aqueous silicate composition on the surface of a glass substrate. The aqueous silicate composition comprises pigment, aqueous silicate solutions, alkali metal hydroxide, colloidal silica and feldspar. The process is especially useful for rendering architectural grade and automobile glass opaque and decorative.
