Abstract: Coating compositions for cementitious substrates that include water, a multistage latex polymer and an optional silane coupling agent, wherein at least one of the monomers of the latex being capable of keto-hydrazide crosslinking with a component comprising a diamine, triamine or polyamine, such as a dihyrazide, trihydrazide, polyhydrazide, or mixtures thereof. The latex polymer preferably is made from a silane-functional multistage latex polymer wherein at least one of the monomers is capable of keto-hydrazide crosslinking with a dihydrazide, and in some instances at least one of the monomers has at least one amide group. The compositions may be used to coat a variety of substrates, including wood and cement. Articles having the coating applied thereto are also provided.

Abstract: Water-based compositions that are resistant to dirt pickup are described. The water-based composition includes a latex or water-dispersible polymer and a non-VOC UV-VIS (preferably, ultraviolet) absorber as a dirt pickup resistance additive. Methods of making water-based compositions including a non-VOC UV-VIS absorber as a dirt pickup resistance additive are also described.
