Abstract: A formulation for surface coating applications, particularly surfaces which are in frequent contact with water and remain water-wet, and/or surfaces of elastomeric and plastic foams, especially foams fabricated from polyethylene and polyurethane resins. The formulation includes a vehicle consisting primarily of a block polymer of styrene/ethylene/butylene/styrene and methylmethacrylate copolymer or related block polymer with lesser degrees of ethylenic unsaturation together with a rubber tackifier, with fillers being provided including particulate colloidal or powdered silicon dioxide, and glass microspheres having an average size of less than about 70 microns. The formulation is such that it is adaptable to be applied by either air pressure spray systems or aerosol packaging techniques.

Abstract: A method of protecting surfaces of structural items from exposure to the elements, which includes forming first and second protective films upon the surface to be protected. The primary coating is an adherent-coherent film having a formulation including:1. Methylmethacrylate copolymer film formers2. A solvent system of toluene and 2-methoxyethanol3. Fillers, such as SiO.sub.24. Miscellaneous solvents.which is applied as a working film-forming solution and permitted to air dry. Thereafter, a secondary or top coating of an adherent-coherent film is applied over the surface of the primary coating, with the top coat or secondary coating having a formulation including:1. Thermoplastic Rubber2. Fillers, such as SiO.sub.2 and CaCO.sub.33. Tackifier4. Heat and Light Stabilizers5. Miscellaneous Solventsand applied in a working solution and permitted to air dry.
