Publication number: 20210246655Abstract: A shear panel building material that includes a first facing membrane, a core matrix disposed on a face of the first facing membrane, and a semi-rigid or rigid material attached to the core matrix. The core matrix can include microspheres having a size of about 200 microns to about 800 microns, sodium silicate, and ethylene vinyl acetate. In one aspect, the shear panel is substantially free from glue and cement.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2021Publication date: August 12, 2021Applicant: Ashtech Industries, LLCInventors: Michael D. Kipp, Dilworth L. Pugh, Michael D. Ridges, William T. McCarvill

Patent number: 9670665Abstract: A building material configured to enhance sound attenuation and reduction in dB across a walled partition, the building material comprising a facing membrane, a core matrix disposed about the facing membrane, the core matrix comprising a plurality of microparticles and a binder solution configured to support the microparticles, the building material comprising at least a substantially exposed face, wherein a side of the core matrix is at least partially exposed to increase sound attenuation by reducing reflections from sound waves impinging on the building material as compared to a control building material lacking an exposed face. Two building materials may be used in conjunction with one another about a building structure, such as a stud wall, to create and define a sound trap that functions to reduce sound transmission across the partition formed by the stud wall and building materials.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2015Date of Patent: June 6, 2017Assignee: Ashtech Industries, LLCInventors: Michael D. Kipp, Dilworth L. Pugh, Michael D. Ridges, William T. McCarvill
