| Westpac Ceiling Textures
are formulated with the original coarse aggregate at different ratios to solids.The chart below
describes each texture's aggregate ratio at an equal viscosity (i.e. thickness).The higher
aggregate ratio typically equates to heavier texture appearance. The lower aggregate level
typically equates to easier application. |
| High Aggregate Ratio |
Natural |
| Medium Aggregate Ratio |
Synthetic |
| Low Aggregate Ratio |
Hopper-Tex |
|
| A texture formulated
to have a higher aggregate ratio will generally have the following characteristics: |
|
1. |
More stand-out — Heavier texture pattern |
|
2. |
Increased mileage |
| A texture formulated
to have a lower aggregate ratio will generally have these characteristics: |
|
1. |
Easier mixing |
|
2. |
More versatile pattern |
|
3. |
Easier use with hopper type spray guns |
|
| Summary: |
Spraying texture is
much more of an art than a science. The stand-out, spray pattern, atomization, and viscosity
are ultimately controlled by each applicator and will vary according to the individual style
and preference of the applicator.
This equivalent viscosity chart is for comparison
only and does not take into account the "art" of spraying texture associated with
the individual applicator. Westpac Ceiling Textures are defined as simulated accoustic and
are not represented as having an acoustical value. |
