Abstract

A system for dispensing texture material in a desired spray pattern that substantially matches an existing texture pattern on a target surface comprises an aerosol dispenser, concentrate, and propellant material. The aerosol dispenser has an inner surface comprised at least in part of tin-plated steel. The concentrate comprises a solvent/carrier comprising water, a resin/binder, filler material, a first anti-corrosion material, and a second anti-corrosion material.

Claims (27)

1. A system for dispensing texture material in a desired spray pattern that substantially matches an existing texture pattern on a target surface, comprising:

an aerosol dispenser comprising

a container assembly defining an inner surface, where the inner surface

defines a main chamber; and

is at least in part a tin-plated steel,

an actuator assembly defining an outlet opening having a cross-sectional area, where the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening is adjustable;

a concentrate comprising

a solvent/carrier comprising water,

wall texture material,

a first anti-corrosion material, where the first anti-corrosion material is a phosphate ester and comprises approximately 0.1-5.0% by weight of the concentrate, and

a second anti-corrosion material, where the second anti-corrosion material is sodium nitrite and comprises approximately 0.25-2.00% by weight of the concentrate; and

a propellant material; wherein

the concentrate and propellant material are disposed within the container assembly such that the water is exposed to the inner surface of the container assembly;

at least one of the first and second anti-corrosion materials forms a film on the inner surface of the container assembly;

the film inhibits corrosion of the inner surface of the container assembly; and

the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening is adjusted such that the propellant material forces the concentrate out of the outlet opening in a spray pattern that forms the desired texture pattern on the target surface.

2. A system as recited in claim 1 , in which:

the solvent/carrier comprises approximately 38-58% of by weight of the concentrate; and

the wall texture material comprises approximately 41-61% by weight of the concentrate.

3. A system as recited in claim 1 , in which:

the solvent/carrier comprises approximately 47-67% of by weight of the concentrate; and

the wall texture material comprises approximately 31-51% by weight of the concentrate.

4. A system as recited in claim 1 , in which the concentrate further comprises a color change material.

5. A system as recited in claim 1 , in which the wall texture material comprises a binder material and at least one pigment material.

6. A system as recited in claim 5 , in which the wall texture material further at least one additive selected from the group of additives consisting of a biocide, a defoamer, and a dispersant.

7. A system as recited in claim 5 , in which the concentrate further comprises a color change material.

8. A system as recited in claim 1 , in which the concentrate further comprises a particulate material.
