Two-component epoxy-based liquid formulations and their resultant dual use epoxy-based products. The epoxy-based liquid formulations include a liquid epoxy resin composition mixed with a liquid epoxy curing agent composition. The liquid epoxy resin compositions include one or more liquid epoxy resins containing a reactive oxirane structure or epoxide group, while the liquid epoxy curing agent composition comprises one or more epoxy curing agents. The liquid epoxy resin and liquid epoxy curing agent compositions are mixed together to provide a dual functioning epoxy-based formulation that, when applied to a substrate and cured, provides a cured three-dimensional cross-linked thermoset dual acting epoxy-based product having both the moisture vapor barrier and the primer functionalities.

Formulations and coatings that seal and protect sensitive natural porous stone, such as, calcareous stone from acid etching. The formulations include one-part and two-part formulations for coating calcareous stones in interior and exterior environments. Various formulations of the invention may include an acrylic hybrid polymer dispersion, a polyurethane dispersion binder, and water. The polyurethane dispersion binder may include one or more acrylic urethane hybrid polymer dispersions or acrylic dispersions or acrylic hybrid polymer dispersions. The acrylic hybrid polymer dispersion may be an epoxy-acrylic hybrid polymer dispersion. The two-part formulations may further include a first hydroxyl function acrylic binder dispersion and a second epoxy functional silane hardener that are mixed together to form the coatings of the invention.
