Pigmented spray texture material compositions, systems, and methods
View Patent ↗A coating material adapted to be applied to a target surface comprises a texture material base and pigment material. The texture material base comprises solvent/carrier material comprising water, resin/binder material comprising a latex binder, and filler material comprising a polymeric thickener. The texture material base and the pigment material are combined and deposited on the target surface to form a durable, irregular, colored surface.
1. A method of applying a coating material to a target surface defined by a wall, comprising the steps of:
providing a pigmented texture material comprising 10-40% by weight of carrier material, 26-46% by weight of binder material, and 31-51% by weight of filler material comprising pigment material;
combining the pigmented texture material and a propellant material within a main chamber defined by a container assembly and a valve assembly; and
operating the valve assembly to allow the propellant material to force the pigmented texture material out of the main chamber such that the pigmented texture material is deposited on the target surface in discrete droplets, where the binder material, filler material, and pigment material are combined such that the discrete droplets
define a physical structure that is visibly distinct from the target surface,
define a texture color associated with a color of the pigment material, and
are sufficiently durable to function as part of a final wall surface.
2. A method as recited in claim 1 , in which the step of providing the texture material base further comprises the step of adding at least one of biocides, dispersants, and defoamers.
3. A method as recited in claim 1 , in which:
the step of providing the container assembly comprises the step of forming at least a portion of the container assembly of tin-plated steel; and
the step of providing the texture material base further comprises the step of adding at least one anti-corrosion material.
4. A method as recited in claim 1 , in which:
the step of providing the container assembly comprises the step of forming at least a portion of the container assembly of tin-plated steel; and
the step of providing the texture material base further comprises the step of adding first and second anti-corrosion materials to the texture material base to form a thin protective film on surfaces formed by the tin-plated steel of the container assembly.
5. A method of forming a final wall surface defined by a wall, comprising the steps of:
providing a paint material, where the paint material is associated with a first color;
applying the paint material to a target surface defined by the wall to form a paint coat;
providing a pigmented texture material base comprising 10-40% by weight of carrier material, 26-46 by weight of binder material, and 31-51% by weight of filler material comprising pigment material, where the pigmented texture material is associated with a second color;
combining the pigmented texture material and a propellant material within a main chamber defined by a container assembly and a valve assembly; and
operating the valve assembly to allow the propellant material to force the pigmented texture material out of the main chamber such that the pigmented texture material is deposited on the paint coat in discrete droplets to form an applied texture pattern on top of the paint coat, where the binder material, filler material, and pigment material are combined such that the discrete droplets
define a physical structure that is visibly distinct from the target surface,
define a texture color associated with a second color that is visibly distinct from the first color, and
are sufficiently durable to function as part of the final wall surface.
6. A method as recited in claim 5 , further, comprising the steps of:
providing a primer material;
applying the primer material to the target surface to form a primer coat, where the paint coat is formed on top of the primer coat.
