## Abstract

A system for dispensing texture material in a desired spray pattern that substantially matches an existing texture pattern on a target surface comprises an aerosol dispenser, concentrate, and propellant material. The aerosol dispenser has an inner surface comprised at least in part of tin-plated steel. The concentrate comprises a solvent/carrier comprising water, a resin/binder, filler material, a first anti-corrosion material, and a second anti-corrosion material.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A system for dispensing texture material in a desired spray pattern that substantially matches an existing texture pattern on a target surface, comprising:
an aerosol dispenser comprising
a container assembly defining an inner surface, where the inner surface
defines a main chamber; and
is at least in part a tin-plated steel,
an actuator assembly defining an outlet opening having a cross-sectional area, where the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening is adjustable;
a concentrate comprising
a solvent/carrier comprising water,
wall texture material,
a first anti-corrosion material, where the first anti-corrosion material is a phosphate ester and comprises approximately 0.1-5.0% by weight of the concentrate, and
a second anti-corrosion material, where the second anti-corrosion material is sodium nitrite and comprises approximately 0.25-2.00% by weight of the concentrate; and
a propellant material; wherein
the concentrate and propellant material are disposed within the container assembly such that the water is exposed to the inner surface of the container assembly;
at least one of the first and second anti-corrosion materials forms a film on the inner surface of the container assembly;
the film inhibits corrosion of the inner surface of the container assembly; and
the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening is adjusted such that the propellant material forces the concentrate out of the outlet opening in a spray pattern that forms the desired texture pattern on the target surface.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A system as recited in claim 1, in which:
the solvent/carrier comprises approximately 38-58% of by weight of the concentrate; and
the wall texture material comprises approximately 41-61% by weight of the concentrate.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A system as recited in claim 1, in which:
the solvent/carrier comprises approximately 47-67% of by weight of the concentrate; and
the wall texture material comprises approximately 31-51% by weight of the concentrate.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A system as recited in claim 1, in which the concentrate further comprises a color change material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A system as recited in claim 1, in which the wall texture material comprises a binder material and at least one pigment material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

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

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

A system as recited in claim 5, in which the concentrate further comprises a color change material.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

A system as recited in claim 1, in which the concentrate further comprises a particulate material.
