Aerosol systems and methods for dispensing texture material
View Patent ↗A system for forming an acoustic texture coating on a surface, the system having an aerosol dispenser, a liquid portion of a propellant material, a gas portion of the propellant material, a base material, and a plurality of discrete particles of at least one of urethane foam and melamine foam, where the discrete particles define a physical structure. The liquid portion of the propellant material, the gas portion of the propellant material, the base material, and the plurality of discrete particles are disposed within the aerosol dispenser. The propellant material does not alter the physical structure of the discrete particles when combined within the aerosol dispenser. When the aerosol dispenser is operated, the base material and the discrete particles are deposited on an uncoated portion of the surface such that the base material dries to adhere the discrete particles to the uncoated portion of the surface.
1. A system for forming an acoustic texture coating on a surface, comprising:
an aerosol dispenser;
a liquid portion of a propellant material;
a gas portion of the propellant material;
a base material;
a plurality of discrete particles of at least one of urethane foam and melamine foam, where the discrete particles define a physical structure; wherein
the liquid portion of the propellant material, the gas portion of the propellant material, the base material, and the plurality of discrete particles are disposed within the aerosol dispenser;
the propellant material does not alter the physical structure of the discrete particles when combined within the aerosol dispenser; and
when the aerosol dispenser is operated, the base material and the discrete particles are deposited on an uncoated portion of the surface such that the base material dries to adhere the discrete particles to the uncoated portion of the surface.
2. A combination system as recited in claim 1 , in which the propellant material is at least one of DME, A-40, and A-70.
3. A combination system as recited in claim 1 , in which the propellant material is a hydrocarbon propellant material.
4. A combination system as recited in claim 1 , in which a physical structure of the discrete particles adhered to the uncoated portion of the surface substantially matches a physical structure of a coated portion of the substrate.
5. A method of forming an acoustic texture coating on a surface, comprising the steps of:
providing an aerosol dispenser;
arranging a liquid portion of a propellant material within the aerosol dispenser;
arranging a gas portion of the propellant material within the aerosol dispenser;
arranging a base material within the aerosol dispenser;
arranging a plurality of discrete particles of at least one of urethane foam and melamine foam within the aerosol dispenser, where
the discrete particles define a physical structure, and
the propellant material does not alter the physical structure of the discrete particles when the propellant material and the discrete particles are arranged within the aerosol dispenser; and
operating the aerosol dispenser to deposit the base material and the discrete particles on the surface; and
allowing the base material to dry to adhere the discrete particles to the surface.
6. A combination method as recited in claim 5 , in which the propellant material is at least one of DME, A-40, and A-70.
7. A combination method as recited in claim 5 , in which the propellant material is a hydrocarbon propellant material.
8. A combination method as recited in claim 5 , in which a physical structure of the discrete particles adhered to the uncoated portion of the surface substantially matches a physical structure of a coated portion of the substrate.
