Abstract

A composition for forming an acoustic texture material on a surface has a propellant material and acoustic texture material. The propellant material includes di-methyl ether. The acoustic texture material includes a coating portion including a base, a filler, and a binder and chips of chip material having a physical structure. When the propellant material and the acoustic texture material are mixed together, the propellant material does not substantially alter the physical structure of the chip material.

Claims (23)

1. A method of applying texture material to a surface, comprising:

providing a propellant material comprising di-methyl ether;

providing discrete chips, where

the discrete chips of each have a physical structure; and

the physical structures of the chips are not substantially altered when the chips are exposed to the propellant material;

combining the chips with a coating portion to obtain acoustic texture material;

providing a container assembly defining a product chamber;

arranging the acoustic texture material within the product chamber;

arranging propellant material within the product chamber such that a liquid phase portion of the propellant material is mixed with the acoustic texture material and a gas phase portion of the propellant material pressurizes the acoustic texture material within the product chamber; and

allowing the propellant material to force the acoustic texture material from the product chamber and onto the surface.

2. A method as recited in claim 1 , in which the chips are made of urethane.

3. A method as recited in claim 1 , in which the coating portion of the acoustic texture material comprises a base, a filler, and a binder.

4. A method as recited in claim 3 , in which the coating portion of the acoustic texture material further comprises at least one of a pigment, a thickener, a defoamer, a surfactant, a dispersant, and an antimicrobial component.

5. A texturing system for applying acoustic texture material to a surface, comprising:

a propellant material comprising di-methyl ether;

acoustic texture material comprising

a coating portion, and

chips of chip material having a physical structure, where the physical structure of the chip material is not substantially altered when the chips are exposed to the propellant material; and

a container assembly defining a product chamber, where the propellant material and the acoustic texture material are disposed within the product chamber; wherein

a liquid phase portion of the propellant material is mixed with the acoustic texture material and a gas phase portion of the propellant material pressurizes the acoustic texture material within the product chamber; and

the propellant material forces the acoustic texture material from the product chamber and onto the surface.

6. A texturing system as recited in claim 5 , in which the coating portion of the acoustic texture material comprises a base, a filler, and a binder.

7. A texturing system as recited in claim 6 , in which the coating portion of the acoustic texture material further comprises at least one of a pigment, a thickener, a defoamer, a surfactant, a dispersant, and an antimicrobial component.
