That would be interesting...there are several commercial products now...but
none work as well as the Hydrocote...and typically they are more expensive.
They all say that they can be brushed or rolled...I suppose they could if
all you were interested in doing was making signs (typically what these
products are market for)...but if you want to make fine art prints...my
hunch is that you will be using a Mayer rod.  In addition if this new
product is thinner...to improve the brushability...it may be very difficult
to use with a Mayer rod...where a certain amount of liquid body is important
for the application process.

Do you know whether this company intended to sell in the US?
