Abstract
An insulating composition comprising in combination a liquid binder, a heat expanded polystyrene material in bead or granular form and a reinforcing pigment, said liquid binder comprising a 95.5 to 50:50 mixture, by weight of an acrylic or vinyl polymer emulsion and an alkali metal silicate, said expanded polystyrene being present in an amount ranging from 5 to 25 percent by weight of said composition.

An insulating composition comprising in combination a liquid binder, a heat expanded polystyrene material in bead or granular form and a reinforcing pigment, said liquid binder comprising a 95:5 to 50:50 mixture, by weight of an acrylic or vinyl polymer emulsion and an alkali metal silicate, said expanded polystyrene being present in an amount ranging from 5 to 25 percent by weight of said composition.
The insulating composition of claim 7 wherein the acrylic terpolymer solids represent an amount of about 70% by weight of the binder component solids.
A sprayable insulating composition comprising a dispersion in a liquid binder of expanded polystyrene granules and a reinforcing pigment, said liquid binder comprising a 95:5 to 50:50 mixture, by weight, of an acrylic or vinyl polymer emulsion and an alkali metal silicate, said polystyrene granules being present in an amount ranging from 2 to 25 percent by weight of said composition and said reinforcing pigment being present in an amount ranging from 0 to 25 percent by weight of said composition.
A sprayable insulating composition comprising a dispersion in a liquid binder of expanded polystyrene granules and a reinforcing pigment, said liquid binder comprising a 95:5 to 50:50 mixture, by weight, of an acrylic terpolymer emulsion and potassium silicate, said expanded polystyrene granules being present in an amount ranging from 5 to 25 percent by weight of said composition, said reinforcing pigment being mica having a size ranging from 10 to 60 mesh and being present in an amount ranging from 0 to 25 percent based on the weight of said composition, said composition also including one or more of an effective amount of a fire retardant agent selected from antimony trioxide or a chlorinated paraffin and an effective amount of a coalescing solvent/freeze-thaw additive.
