Abstract

A system for dispensing texture material in an orange peel pattern has an aerosol dispenser and a contained material. The aerosol dispenser is a container assembly, a valve assembly, and an outlet assembly. The contained material is texture material and propellant material. The texture material is approximately 24-34% water, 4.1-6.1% latex binder, 48-58% fillers, and 4.8-8.8% drier accelerant by weight. The contained material comprises approximately 10-15% by weight of the propellant material. The outlet assembly alters the cross-sectional of the outlet opening to correspond to a desired orange peel texture pattern. The valve assembly allows the propellant material to force at least a portion of the texture material out of the outlet opening in a spray pattern corresponding to the desired orange peel texture pattern. The drier accelerant promotes drying of the dispensed texture material.

Claims (54)

1. A system for dispensing texture material in an orange peel pattern, comprising:

an aerosol dispenser comprising

a container assembly formed at least in part of tin-plated steel,

a valve assembly that controls flow of pressurized fluid out of the container assembly, and

an outlet assembly that alters a cross-sectional area of an outlet opening through which pressurized fluid flowing out of the container assembly through the valve assembly passes;

a contained material comprising

texture material, where the texture material comprises by weight

approximately 24-34% water,

approximately 4.1-6.1% latex binder,

approximately 48-58% fillers, and

approximately 4.8-8.8% drier accelerant;

a propellant material, where the contained material comprises

approximately 10-15% by weight of the propellant material;

wherein

the contained material is disposed within the container assembly;

the outlet assembly is operated to alter the cross-sectional of the outlet opening such that the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening corresponds to a desired orange peel texture pattern;

the valve assembly is operated to allow the propellant material to force at least a portion of the texture material out of the outlet opening in a spray pattern corresponding to the desired orange peel texture pattern; and

the drier accelerant promotes drying of the dispensed texture material in the desired orange peel texture pattern.

2. A system as recited in claim 1 , in which the drier accelerant comprises at least one material selected from the group of materials comprising tetrahydrofuran, acetone, methanol, iso-propanol, ethanol, N-propanol, propylene glycol monomethylether, propylene glycol n-propyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diacetone alcohol, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, N-methyl pyrrolidone, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, diethanolamine, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl acetate.

3. A system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

a first anti-corrosion material; and

a second anti-corrosion material; wherein

the amount of the first anti-corrosion material is selected with respect to the second anti-corrosion material to promote formation of a thin protective film on any portion of the container assembly made of tin-plated steel.

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

the first anti-corrosion material comprises approximately 0.1-5% by weight of the texture material, where the first anti-corrosion material is a phosphate ester, and

a second anti-corrosion material comprises approximately 0.025-2.0% by weight of the texture material, where the second anti-corrosion material is sodium nitrite.

5. A system as recited in claim 1 , further comprising at least one additive selected from the group of additives consisting of a biocide, a defoamer, and a dispersant.

6. A method dispensing texture material in an orange peel pattern, comprising the steps of:

an aerosol dispenser comprising

a container assembly formed at least in part of tin-plated steel,

a valve assembly that controls flow of pressurized fluid out of the container assembly, and

an outlet assembly that alters a cross-sectional area of an outlet opening through which pressurized fluid flowing out of the container assembly through the valve assembly passes;

forming a contained material by combining

texture material, where the texture material comprises by weight

approximately 24-34% water,

approximately 4.1-6.1% latex binder,

approximately 48-58% fillers, and

approximately 4.8-8.8% drier accelerant; and

a propellant material, where the contained material comprises

approximately 10-15% by weight of the propellant material;

wherein

arranging the contained material within the container assembly;

operating the outlet assembly to alter the cross-sectional of the outlet opening such that the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening corresponds to a desired orange peel texture pattern;

operating the valve assembly to allow the propellant material to force at least a portion of the texture material out of the outlet opening in a spray pattern corresponding to the desired orange peel texture pattern such that the drier accelerant promotes drying of the dispensed texture material in the desired orange peel texture pattern.

7. A method as recited in claim 6 , in which the step of forming the texture material comprises the step of selecting at least one material from the group of materials comprising tetrahydrofuran, acetone, methanol, iso-propanol, ethanol, N-propanol, propylene glycol monomethylether, propylene glycol n-propyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diacetone alcohol, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, N-methyl pyrrolidone, dipropylene glycol methyl ether, diethanolamine, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl acetate to form the drier accelerant.

8. A method as recited in claim 6 , in which the step of forming the contained material further comprises the steps of:

adding first and second anti-corrosion materials to the texture material; and

selecting amounts of the first and second anti-corrosion material with respect to each other such that the first and second anti-corrosion materials form a thin protective film on any portion of the container assembly made of tin-plated steel.

9. A method as recited in claim 8 , in which:

the first anti-corrosion material comprises approximately 0.1-5% by weight of the texture material, where the first anti-corrosion material is a phosphate ester, and

a second anti-corrosion material comprises approximately 0.025-2.0% by weight of the texture material, where the second anti-corrosion material is sodium nitrite.

10. A method as recited in claim 6 , further comprising the steps of:

selecting at least one additive selected from the group of additives consisting of a biocide, a defoamer, and a dispersant; and

adding the at least one selected additive to the texture material.
