Aerosol spray texture apparatus for a particulate containing material
View Patent ↗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.
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.
