Abstract: A radiant resistant coating, heat-shielding methods, and coated products are provided. The coating can include an acrylic emulsion as a special carrier to enhance adhesion onto substrates, a defoamer to limit frothing during blending, a coalescent, polymerized aluminum pigment as a special heat rejecting element, an associative thickener to establish the proper viscosity, a PH additive as a stability enhancer, and water. This combined matrix provides a water-based, single entity radiant resistant coating with negligible VOC levels.

Abstract: A reinforced, variable strength, fluid applied, waterproofing and/or air barrier membrane system assembled in the field is described. The membrane can comprise two major components: a carrier fluid and reinforcement elements. The carrier fluid can comprise a polymer fluid, and the reinforcing elements can comprise a reinforcing fiber composition. The polymer fluid can comprise one or more of a variety of catalyzed or atmospherically cured resin-based or non-resin based fluid vehicles. The reinforcing fibers can comprise one or more of a variety of chopped-length synthetic or natural fibers of suitable tensile strength and elongation. The polymer fluid and the reinforcing fibers can be combined and sprayed onto many surfaces that need to be waterproofed, weatherproofed, or sequestered.
