Abstract
A more controllable fibrous acoustic ceiling patch or textured material in the form of a sprayable composition includes a base, a filler, an adhesive binder, an anti-foaming agent, a suspension agent, and fibrous materials. The more controllable acoustic ceiling patch is storable and dispensable from a pressurized dispenser having a delivery nozzle. An aerosol system with a spray nozzle is included on the container for selective discharge of the textured material onto a prepared patch area, which may be on a drywall or support panel so as to match and blend with the surrounding acoustic ceiling surface area in order to provide a continuous and unbroken coextensive surface texture of mechanically and visually matched material.
Claims24
A hardenable flowable substance for application to a patch surface surrounded by an acoustic material having an irregular surface texture to form a layer of textured patch material on the patch surface, wherein the hardenable flowable substance is storable in a fluid-tight dispensing container and sprayable utilizing a propellant, the hardenable flowable substance comprising:
- a liquid base;
- a filler selected to form an extender or bodifier for the resulting patch material;
- an adhesive binder selected to adhere the resulting patch material to the surface;
- fibrous materials selected to give the resulting patch material an irregular surface;
- an anti-foaming agent;
- and
- a suspension agent,
- wherein the hardenable flowable substance is initially stored in fluid state and is dispensable in the form of an aerosol spray from the fluid-tight container and, after being released and curing, forms a bumpy, irregular surface texture that matches and is compatible with the acoustic ceiling material surrounding the patch.
A system for dispensing a hardenable flowable substance sprayable utilizing a propellant for application to a patch surface surrounded by an acoustic ceiling material having an irregular surface texture to form a layer of textured patch material on the patch surface, the system comprising:
- a fluid-tight container, in which the hardenable flowable substance is stored;
- and
- an actuator coupled to the fluid-tight container for selectively releasing the hardenable flowable substance in the form of a spray,
- wherein said hardenable flowable substance comprises,
- a liquid base,
- a filler selected to form an extender or bodifier for the resulting patch material,
- an adhesive binder selected to adhere the resulting patch material to the surface,
- fibrous materials selected to give the resulting patch material an irregular surface texture,
- an anti-foaming agent, and
- a suspension agent,
- wherein the hardenable flowable substance forms a bumpy, irregular surface texture that matches and is compatible with the acoustic ceiling material surrounding the patch.
A method of repairing an acoustic ceiling material, the method comprising:
- storing a hardenable flowable substance utilizing a propellant for application to a patch surface surrounded by an acoustic material having an irregular surface texture in a fluid-tight dispensing container, the hardenable flowable substance comprising:
- a liquid base,
- a filler selected to form an extender or bodifier for the resulting patch material,
- an adhesive binder selected to adhere the resulting patch material to the surface,
- fibrous materials selected to give the resulting patch material an irregular surface texture,
- an anti-foaming agent, and
- a suspension agent,
- wherein the fluid-tight container has an actuator for selectively dispensing the hardenable flowable substance in the form of an aerosol spray;
- and
- dispensing selectively the hardenable flowable substance onto the patch surface such that the hardenable flowable substance forms a layer having a bumpy, irregular surface texture after being dispensed and curing which matches and is compatible with the acoustic ceiling material surrounding the patch.
