Abstract: A method for rejuvenating a roof or a facade of a building and a coating composition are disclosed. The method comprises: providing a pre-mix base composition comprising a water based polymeric emulsion or resin and a rheology modifier added to the pre-mix composition to adjust a viscosity of the pre-mix base composition between about 100 KU and about 140 KU according to ASTM D562; mixing the pre-mix base composition with solid granules to form a coating composition with a ratio pre-mix base composition/solid granules in the coating composition ranging from 1/1 to 1/2; and applying the coating composition on the roof or façade. The coating composition once applied on the surface and dried preserves original shingles' aesthetics and flexibility without cracking while rejuvenating the shingles. The method allows creating a much stronger bond to the surface than original granules.

Abstract: Expert system and method for computing an adjustment procedure for obtaining an adjusted exterior waterborne paint composition for an exterior surface to be painted at a paint application site on a specific date. A starting exterior waterborne paint composition comprises base chemical compounds. When one or more computed target values of target chemical compounds for the adjusted exterior waterborne paint composition are determined different from the plurality of base values, the adjustment procedure is computed for transforming the starting exterior waterborne paint composition into the adjusted exterior paint composition and instructions comprising the adjustment procedure are sent to a remote device.

Abstract: Expert system and method for computing an application procedure for painting vinyl panels a target color at a paint application site while preventing vinyl warping. A target reflectivity indicator is computed for the vinyl panels once painted. When the target color and target reflectivity indicator are met by application of the multiple paint layers, the application procedure computed identifies a pigmentable waterborne paint composition, one or more proportioned paint pigments to achieve the target color at a predictable transmissivity and a preparatory waterborne paint composition considering a corresponding predictable reflectivity. Applying the pigmentable waterborne paint composition, once pigmented with the one or more proportioned paint pigments, over the preparatory waterborne paint composition meets the target reflectivity indicator for the vinyl panels at the target color.
