Pressurized adhesive applicator system for vertical surfaces without foaming
A pressurized construction adhesive applicator system has been granted a patent (Publication Number: US11919029B2). The system includes a canister containing a one-part moisture curable construction adhesive, a lid forming a seal with the canister, and an applicator wand with a trigger for dispensing the adhesive. The system also features a pressurant to facilitate the flow of the adhesive without the need for foaming, solvents, or mechanical pumps, allowing for application on vertical surfaces. The adhesive is free of volatile organic compounds (VOC) solvent and blowing agents, ensuring environmental friendliness and efficiency in construction projects.
The system, which can hold between 1 and 10 liters of adhesive, is made of steel and pressurized with nitrogen. The adhesive has a viscosity of 2,000 to 5,000 centipoise and may contain additives such as fillers, curatives, defoamers, dyes, and diluents. The process of making and using the applicator system involves sealing the canister, pressurizing it, adjusting the nozzle for dispensing, aligning the nozzle on the surface to be joined, and applying the adhesive in a controlled manner. The system is particularly useful in manufacturing home production for tasks like creating interior partition walls with gypsum wallboards. Additionally, the system is designed for easy recycling by decoupling the applicator wand from the canister, making it a sustainable choice for construction projects.
