  • Substrate smoothed by coating with gypsum-containing composition and method of making
    Patent number: 6740395
    Abstract: A rough-surfaced substrate, such as a fiberboard, is provided with a smoother surface by applying a coating comprising calcium sulfate hemihydrate which has been prevented from hydrating to gypsum by set preventer, and which sets when brought into contact with a set initiator, e.g. aluminum sulfate, preferably present on the surface of the substrate.

  • Abuse resistant skim coating composition
    Patent number: 6716906
    Abstract: Disclosed is a ready-to-use self-gauging coating compound containing about 65%-75% solids that provides a flat finely textured finish with improved abuse (abrasion) resistance properties. The coating composition comprises a resin binder in which there is dispersed an aggregate consisting of particles in a selected size range in a quantity sufficient to form a layer of particles one particle deep on the substrate when the coating is applied to the substrate.
