  • Publication number: 20230082565
    Abstract: In certain embodiments, the disclosed sealant comprises a one-component, closed-cell, semi-foam, sealant using gas-filled, flexible, organic microspheres to create a product that is elastic and compressible under pressure without protruding in an outward direction when compressed, thereby allowing the applied sealant to compress in an enclosed, maximum-filled channel unlike typical mastic sealants (while retaining the ability to rebound). This allows the sealant to function as a gasket, and, once fully cured, to have properties including vibration damping, insulating, and condensation resistance. The sealant can be formulated as an air barrier or a vapor barrier and at various degrees of moisture resistance. It may be applied by different packaging variations including aerosol can (bag in can or bag on valve), airless sprayer, cartridge tubes, foil tubes, squeeze tubes, and buckets to be applied using a brush, trowel, spatula, etc.

  • Publication number: 20230068939
    Abstract: An elastomeric mastic sealant composition and method of manufacturing are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the composition may include between about 13 and about 19 weight percent or between about 11 and about 15 volume percent of acrylate-acrylonitrile copolymer. The composition may further comprise one or more of between about 36 and about 41 weight percent or between about 29 and about 34 volume percent of styrenated acrylic polymer; between about 1 and about 2 weight percent or between about 0.9 and about 1.7 volume percent of surfactant; between about 0.6 and about 1.4 weight percent or between about 0.4 and about 1 volume percent of dispersant; and between about 0.4 and about 1 weight percent or between about 29 and about 40 volume percent of pre-expanded compressible microspheres having an organic outer surface and introduced by a closed mixing system into the copolymer.

  • Patent number: 11505673
    Abstract: The disclosed latex system comprises a one-component, closed-cell, semi-foam, mastic sealant using gas-filled, flexible, organic microspheres to create a product that is elastic and compressible under pressure without protruding in an outward direction when compressed, thereby allowing the applied sealant to compress in an enclosed, maximum-filled channel unlike typical mastic sealants (while retaining the ability to rebound). This allows the sealant to function as a gasket, and, once fully cured, to have properties including vibration damping, insulating, and condensation resistance. The sealant can be formulated as an air barrier or a vapor barrier and at various degrees of moisture resistance. It may be applied by different packaging variations including aerosol can (bag in can or bag on valve), airless sprayer, cartridge tubes, foil tubes, squeeze tubes, and buckets to be applied using a brush, trowel, spatula, etc.
