Patent ID: 7813971

Claim:
A method for recommending coating compositions from the use of the climatic conditions from the location of application to surfaces, comprising: applying, by a computer system, at least one classification of more than one environment in which more than one coating composition form coating films on surfaces, providing, by the computer system an environmental conditions database including climatic data for a plurality of locations of use of coating compositions where the climatic data incorporates features of the classification, providing, by the computer system, a coatings composition database including performance properties of a plurality of coating compositions, receiving, by the computer system, information from a user including a location of use of a desired coating composition and a desired performance property of the desired coating composition, matching, by the computer system, the climatic data in the environmental conditions database for the particular environment at the user location of use with at least one coating composition having the user desired performance property at the location, based on the performance properties data of the coatings composition database, and presenting to the user, by the computer system, the matched at least one coating composition as the at least one recommended coating composition for the user location.
