Disclosed herein are coating agents and methods of manufacturing coated products with such coating agents. The disclosed coating agents may include at least one resin, at least one filler selected from the group comprising natural mineral and synthetic mineral, and at least one chemical agent, wherein the at least one chemical agent is at least one pigment selected from the group comprising inorganic pigment and organic pigment.

Sealing agent

Multifunctional primer formulations are disclosed for composite building materials, such as materials that are generally cementitious, gypsum, or of another inorganic building material, including those containing cellulose, glass, steel or polymeric fibers. The multifunctional primer formulations provide multifunctional action to the primer including an ability to function as a primer and sealer in only a single coating. Such formulations when applied to a suitable substrate provide excellent adhesion to the substrate and improve paint adhesion and performance when applied thereto. Superior properties over commercial products is particularly notable when the formulations herein are applied to substrates, such as fiber cement, that have been manipulated or sized by cutting (e.g., by saw or water jet), sanding, punching, and/or shearing.

Multifunctional primers

A coated substrate is configured with one or more cross-linked interfacial zones provided to improve the adhesion between the coating and substrate of the article or between adjacent coating layers. The coating composition contains molecules having at least two reactive functional groups capable of reacting with cross-linking molecules in the substrate and/or molecules in adjacent coating layers. The cross-linked interfacial zones improve the adhesion between coatings and the substrate and between adjacent coating layers.
