- a method of preparing a construction panel includes coating a first major surface of a first rigid panel with a polymer resin in a set of areas.
- the coverage of the polymer resin cannot be greater than about 500 g/m 2 .
- a method of preparing a construction panel includes coating a first major surface of a first rigid panel with a polymer resin in a set of areas.
- the coated areas can have a first shortest distance d 1 between edges of two coated areas of not greater than about 25 mm.
- the polymer resin can be coated on two liners having different release formulations between the coating and each liner. That way a pattern can be stored on a roll for custom-made use on construction sites or for customer-specified sale. Measured strips can be taken from the role, one liner removed and the pattern can be applied to a construction panel, while preserving the opposing side with a liner until the second construction panel is mounted to the wall.
- the polymer resin can also be coated on one liner having different release formulations between the coating on each side of the liner.
- an acoustic damping article comprises a polymer resin 102 which is partially disposed between a first rigid panel member 104 and a second rigid panel member 106 . Since the resin is partially disposed, there are polymer resin-free spaces 108 between the two panels 104 and 106 .
- the polymer resin when disposed between the two rigid panels ( 104 and 106 ), the polymer resin may have a thickness in a range of 25 micrometers to 5 millimeters, such as a range of 100 micrometers to 5 millimeters, a range of 500 micrometers to 5 millimeters, or even a range of 1 millimeter to 5 millimeters.
- the resin-free spaces 108 can be filled with material.
- material can be material such as polymers, foams, or fabrics. These materials can have the same function as the polymer resin, such as they can be sound absorbing or sound reducing, e.g., soft foam, fiberglass, or mineral wool.
- the material filling the resin free space can have another function, e.g., heat insulation.
- an additional discontinuous layer (not illustrated) of polymer resin may be applied to the second major surface of the rigid panel 106 .
- Another rigid panel (not illustrated) may be applied in contact with the additional discontinuous layer of polymer to form a three rigid member panel with two acoustic composition layers.
- the width of the layer 102 can vary and is dependent from the shape and/or pattern of the areas covered by the polymer resin. Likewise the width or volume of the resin-free spaces 108 can vary as well depending from the pattern or shapes used for the polymer resin coated areas. Therefore, one option for quantifying the of polymer resin applied to a rigid panel is by determining the percentage of area of the rigid panel coated and/or the mass of polymer resin covered per square meter (m 2 ).
- the percentage of area that coats a rigid panel is the sum of all coated area S c over the surface area S t of the side of the rigid panel or substrate that receives the coating. Any percentage can be obtained.
- the substrate or rigid panel can be covered at about 5%, about 10%, about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, or even about 90%.
- the coverage or the mass of polymer resin covered per m 2 can be determined, e.g., by determining the weight difference of the uncoated rigid panel or substrate and the coated rigid panel or substrate and dividing the weight difference by the total surface S area of the one or more sides that received coating.
- the polymer resin is generally applied as a liquid or gel. The coverage is determined after the polymer resin has dried and all volatile additives, such as solvents, emulsifier, lubricants, etc. have dissipated until the weight of the coated panel or substrate is constant. Any coverage conceivable can be obtained.
- the coverage can be at least 50 g/m 2 , at least 75 g/m 2 , at least 100 g/m 2 , at least 125 g/m 2 , at least 150 g/m 2 , at least 175 g/m 2 , at least 200 g/m 2 , at least 250 g/m 2 , at least 300 g/m 2 , at least 350 g/m 2 , at least 400 g/m 2 , or even at least 500 g/m 2 .
- the coverage can be not greater than 600 g/m 2 , not greater than 500 g/m 2 , not greater than 400 g/m 2 , not greater than 350 g/m 2 , not greater than 300 g/m 2 , not greater than 250 g/m 2 , or even not greater than 200 g/m 2 .
- the damping article as illustrated in FIG. 1 comprising rigid panels 104 and 106 , discontinuous polymer resin layer 102 , and polymer resin-free spaces 108 form a resonating system, wherein resin-free space 108 is designed to serve to geometrically reduce the interlayer stiffness
- preformed laminates may be formed with the polymer resin.
- the polymer resin may be applied to a surface of a first rigid panel. The surface of the second rigid panel is placed in contact with the acoustic damping article that is in contact with a major surface with the first rigid panel to form the laminate.
- MIM Mechanical impedance measurement
- FIG. 2 displays the correlation of the Patterned Interlayer Stiffness with the damping factor. For example, taking a frequency of about 1000 Hz, the graph indicates that a maximum damping factor can be achieved using a PIS of about 3 GN/m 3 , while maximum damping factors can be achieved at higher frequencies with higher PIS values. Since the PIS value is a property depending from the shear modulus of the glue, the percentage coverage, and the thickness, there are three variables that can be adjusted to achieve a improved damping across a construction panel.
- FIG. 3 displays such effect on an example of stripes between drywall panels.
- Commercially available acoustic damping articles are tested for comparison with a sample formed in a manner similar to the samples of Example 1. The samples are tested by placing parallel stripes of Green Glue® formulations in various amounts at various distances on a panel of drywall and measuring the modal damping factor at various frequencies.
- Green Glue® is available from Green Glue Company of Granville, N.Y.
- Nine samples were prepared, each sample having an amount of Green Glue® of 140 g/m 2 , 280 g/m 2 , or 410 g/m 2 ; and each sample having stripes in a distance of 20, 30, or 40 mm. A tenth sample with a full coverage of Green Glue® was prepared.
- the 20 mm spacing of the 140 g/m 2 (S 20 —140 g/m 2 ) coverage shows the highest damping of about 70% at about 1000 Hz.
- damping of the 30 mm spacing at the 140 g/m 2 (S 30 —140 g/m 2 ) coverage was better at higher frequencies, while coverage of samples higher than 140 g/m shows better damping at frequencies lowest frequencies. From this example, it is shown that combining parallel stripes in various distances, e.g., combining S 20 with S 30 can result in an improved modal damping factor.
- FIGS. 5 a , 5 b , and 5 c even further disclose that various distances between resin edges can be applied in different pattern.
- a pattern can unfold with at least two distances d 1 , and d 2 between two edges of squares.
- the basic pattern 510 displays the elemental unit for the pattern.
