Pigmented Spray Texture Material Single Coat Application
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional texture materials require multiple coats to achieve a durable, pigmented, and textured finish, which is inefficient and prone to removal, whereas a single coat formulation is needed for both durability and aesthetics.
Innovation Solution
A coating material comprising a texture material base with a solvent/carrier, resin/binder, and filler, combined with pigment, is applied using an aerosol dispensing system, forming a durable, irregular, colored surface in a single application.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional texture materials are applied using multiple coats, then a pigmented and textured finish can be achieved, but the process becomes inefficient and the finish remains prone to removal
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple functions into a single texture material formulation: pigment for color, binder for adhesion, and texture-forming agents for surface irregularity. This merging of pigmentation, bonding, and texturing functions into one coating eliminates the need for separate application steps while achieving durable, aesthetically pleasing finishes that resist removal.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention uses a composite material formulation containing pigment particles, binder polymers, fillers, and texture-forming additives suspended in a carrier fluid. This composite structure provides simultaneous coloration, adhesion, and texturing properties that conventional single-function materials cannot achieve, enabling one-coat application with enhanced durability.
2Manufacturing precision
If conventional texture materials are applied using multiple coats, then a pigmented finish can be achieved, but the process becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates all necessary components for a complete finish—pigments for color, binders for adhesion, and texture agents for surface appearance—into the texture material formulation before application. This preliminary incorporation of multiple functions eliminates the need for subsequent coating or finishing steps, reducing application time while maintaining high-quality pigmented finishes.
Solution Approach 2:
The texture material is designed as a multi-functional coating that simultaneously provides coloration, adhesion, texturing, and protection in a single application. This universal formulation eliminates the need for separate primer, paint, and texture coating steps, significantly reducing application time while maintaining or improving finish quality.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enables a single coat application that is both durable and aesthetically pleasing, eliminating the need for multiple coats and enhancing the texture material's adhesion and longevity.
Implementation Method 1
The propellant material pressurizes the texture material within the container assembly. When the valve assembly is placed in its open configuration, the vapor portion of the bi-phase propellant material forces the texture material out of the container assembly along the dispensing path.
Implementation Method 2
When the valve assembly returns to its closed position, part of the liquid portion of the bi-phase propellant material changes to the vapor state because of the drop in pressure within the container assembly. The vapor portion of the propellant material returns the pressure within the container assembly to the equilibrium value.
Implementation Method 3
The outlet assembly defines a portion of the outlet path and is configured such that the texture material is applied to the destination surface in an applied texture pattern.

AI summary
A coating material adapted to be applied to a target surface comprises a texture material base and pigment material. The texture material base comprises solvent/carrier material comprising water, resin/binder material comprising a latex binder, and filler material comprising a polymeric thickener. The texture material base and the pigment material are combined and deposited on the target surface to form a durable, irregular, colored surface.
