Definitions
- An acoustical and thermal insulating element capable of maitnaining structural integrity at temperatures in excess of 1000 F., composed of a plurality of siliceous fibers interbonded into an integral, void-containing mass having a density of between 1 and 30 pounds per cubic foot and shaped in the form of a panel having two substantially parallel major surfaces and a thickness of between 250 and 3000 mils, and kerfed side walls which extend between the major surfaces, and deposited within the voids present between the fibers and adjacent to one of the surfaces and to a depth of at least 125 mils, an impregnant containing between 75% and 98% by weight of aluminum silicate particles consisting essentially of between 10% and 90% by Weight of hydrated aluminum silicate containing between 50% and 75 by weight of SiO and between 15% and 35% by weight of A1 0 and between 10%
- the present invention concerns structural, acoustical and thermal insulating boards which are capable of retaining their integrity and dimensional stability at temperatures in excess of 1000 F., and particularly low density siliceous fiber boards possessing an inorganic lamina at one surface and within the voids existing in the fibrous low density structure.
- Structural and decorative elements formed from interbonded or intermeshed siliceous fibers, such as glass, mineral wool or asbestos fibers, have achieved extensive use in applications such as ceiling and wall tiles, panels or boards, in which they provide excellent acoustical and thermal insulating properties.
- Such elements normally comprise an integral relatively rigid mass of fibers grouped into a thin panel-like structure having two major opposed and substantially parallel surfaces, a thickness in the order of one-tenth or less of the major dimension of the structure, and possessing a density in the range of 1 to 30 pounds per cubic foot.
- siliceous fibers Due to the non-combustibility of the siliceous fibers, it might be expected that such structures would be valued for their fire resistance, for example in the insulation and fireproofing of beams, steel girders and concrete decks of buildings and for the bulkheads, beams, and decks aboard ships.
- these non-combustible elements fail to prevent flame spread or building collapse as a result of their loss of integrity at temperatures experienced during a fire.
- these noncombustible elements can be employed to mask or seal off such readily combustible elements as wooden studs, joists, partitions, decking, and tde like.
- these low density materials perform the desired function in an adequate fashion by thermally insulating the combustible materials which they conceal and thereby preventing the transfer of temperatures adequate to initiate combustion.
- higher temperatures e.g.
- siliceous fiber boards may also weaken concealed non-combustible structural elements such as steel beams or girders and concrete decks, to cause a partial or total collapse of the building structure.
- thermocouples are positioned to measure temperatures of structural members and on the top side of a concrete slab below which is suspended the board to be tested. Flames are then ignited within the chamber and the temperature is progressively elevated, i.e. 1000 F., five minutes after the initiation of the test, 1700 F. at one hour, 1850 F. at 2 hours, etc.
- thermocouples senses a temperature which would be adequate to ignite combustible building elements or to weaken noncombustible elements such as steel beams or concrete decks.
- This test yields a fire rating based upon the length of endurance of the medium tested under the prescribed conditions. For example, an acoustical insulating board which endured for one hour before permitting the transfer of temperatures adequate to initiate combustion or cause the collapse of noncombustible elements would receive a one hour rating.
- a failure is experienced whenever any single thermocouple above the slab reaches 325 F., above ambient temperature, or when the average temperature of such thermocouples reaches 250 F., above ambient temperature.
- thermocouple indicating the temperature of a steel structural member reads 1200 F. above ambient, or when the average reading of such thermocouples is 1000 F. above ambient.
- the present invention is directed to the provision of low density decorative and structural elements formed from siliceous fibers, which exhibit structural integrity and dimensional stability at temperatures in excess of 1000 F., while retaining the acoustical and thermal insulating properties for which they are valued.
- Another object is the provision of methods for the preparation of such low density decorative and structural elements.
- a further object is the provision of impregnants capable of imparting the prescribed integrity to such decorative and structural elements.
- Structural integrity is employed to define the ability to resist the transfer of heat and flames through apertures resulting from the delamination or disintegration of the structure, or through apertures resulting from the separation of the low density boards from their fastenings, suspension systems or from abutting, adjacent boards, upon exposure to temperatures in excess of 1000 F. Consequently, the term structural integrity contains an aspect of dimensional stability in respect to resistance to shrinkage, expansion and warping or sagging. It should also be noted that the acoustical properties of the structures include both sound absorption and resistance to sound transmission.
- the former is provided by the low density, void-filled region which is retained at one major surface of the board, while the latter is improved by virtue of the formation of a dense zone which is substantially impervious to sound at the opposite major surface.
- the insulating values of the boards are enhanced by virtue of the opacifying effect of the dense layer.
- FIGURE 1 is a fragmentary sectional view of a product prepare in accordance with the invention.
- FIGURE 2 is a schematic representation of an apparatus suitable for the practice of the methods of the invention.
- the foregoing objects are achieved by means of the deposition of a continuous inorganic structural phase, or layer, within the voids present within a resin-bonded, low density siliceous fiber medium and immediately adjacent to one of the two major surfaces of the low density fibrous board.
- the extent of such deposition is limited and controlled in order to prevent the impregnation of the other or opposite major surface, and to thereby retain the desirable thermal and acoustical properties of the low density medium of which the second major surface is composed.
- Ceiling boards are supported on narrow ledges provided by a suspension grid, while tiles have a kerf slot-which receives a supporting spline.
- the grid or spline system is usually fastened to the deck or flooring thereabove, for example by wires.
- the primary difference lies in the fact that ceiling boards rest on a narrow ledge which frames the entire circumference of the board on one of its major surfaces, while tiles are supported by splines received in the slot or groove in the narrow sides thereof.
- the properties described for ceiling board and ceiling tiles apply equally to wall board and wall tile but for purposes of simplicity only the ceiling board and tile will be discussed.
- a structural layer having a thickness Of 125 mils is adequate for the ceiling board, but that in the ceiling tile, the structural layer must extend at least below the kerf, which is normally located about A inch from the impregnated surface.
- the structural layer extends to the acoustical-thermal low density zone or layer which in both cases must have a thickness of at least 50 mils and preferably 125 mils.
- the low density boards which are treated in accordance with the invention normally have a thickness of at least 375 mils, and the structural layer or impregnated zone normally has a thickness of at least 125 mils for the ceiling board and at least 250 mils for the ceiling tile.
- the aqueous component After depositing and positioning the impregnant to the desired depth, the aqueous component is dispelled by drying to leave a strong rigid structural phase or layer.
- the inventive impregnants contain both inorganic particulate matter, and a binder phase which is capable of interadhering the inorganic particles both at ambient conditions and during exposure to temperatures in excess of 1000 F.
- the binder phase contains between 5 to by weight of colloidal silica and between 5 to 95% by weight of bentonite, and comprises between 2 to 25% by weight of the total solids present in the impregnant.
- the impregnant contains between 1 to 20% by weight of colloidal silica and between 1 to 15% by weight of bentonite. It should be noted that references to quantities of colloidal silica. relate to the quanti ties of silica solids, although these compositions are normally employed as dispersions in a liquid carrier medium such as water.
- the inorganic particles which are interbonded by the foregoing binder phase include a combination of both materials possessing a melting point below 2000 F., and materials which melt above that temperature.
- Bentonite usually predominantly sodium montmorillonite, beidellite or a combination of the two. serves both as a binder for the impregnant and, by increasing the viscosity of a slurry thereof, as a process aid facilitating the required degree of penetration by the slurry without filtration of solids therefrom.
- Calcium montmorillonite is somewhat less effective as a binder and does not function as a process aid unless subjected to high shear or connected to the sodium cycle.
- Alginates, methylcellulose and other thixotropic materials canbe use in place of bentonite
- the process aid function i req ire lower melting materials are the aluminosilicates of the Group I and II metals, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and barium, and aluminosilicates containing two or more of these metals.
- the high melting materials comprise certain hydrous aluminum silicates which are subse- 6 posed essentially of montmorillonite and beidellite; it is colloidal hydrated aluminum silicate or sodium montmorillonite.
- the hydrated aluminum silicates employed by the invention are ball clays consisting primarily of kaolinite,
- the Group I and/or Group II metals functrasted with the subsequently discussed alkali metal tion as fluxes which facilitate the melting of a portion aluminosilicates, the :ball clays have a total alkali and of the ingredients of the impregnant and form an exalkalll'le earth metal content between 054% y tremely viscous adhesive.
- the value of ages a enve. may Contam minor quantlties of qrgamc thermally inert particles interbonded by the described materials.
- the lower melting material is preferably feldspar but 6 pfevlousy escrl e
- this admixture comprises beof, or aluminosilicates which contain two or more of the tween 10 to 90% by weight of the higher melting hy- 35 pe fi m l ions.
- the impregnant composition contains from 7.5 :9 as i w hydophane mlcrochne agorto 88.2% by weight of the lower melting material and 40 t fl i g and h compounlds.as neiahehne from 7.5 to 88.2% of the higher melting material.
- the lmpregnants genera 1y cgmpnse b gh ticles making up these compositions also have diameters ercent y wei t of no more than 20 microns.
- Colloidal silica (solids) 1-20 The examples in the following table provide a num- Bentonite 1-15 ber of formulations suitable for use in the present in- Hydrated aluminum silicate 75-882 vention in which the quantities of ingredients are ex- Na, K, Ca, Mg and Ba aluminosilicates 7.5-88.2 pressed as percentages by weight:
- the impregnants contain:
- Percent Colloidal silica (solids) 2-6 Bentonite 1-5 Ball clay 15-25 Feldspar -80 Feldspar I in the above table comprised the following quantities of ingredients expressed in percentages by weight:
- Ball clay III was similar to ball clay I with the exception that a portion of the aluminum silicate was present as pyrophyllite.
- colloidal silicas of the foregoing examples were employed as aqueous dispersions containing between 10-60% by weight of colloidal silica and .preferably by weight.
- the quantities recited refer to the amount of silica solids employed.
- the impregnants of the above examples were prepared by admixing the ingredients with water to form a slurry. While a slurry containing 20-70% and preferably 50% by weight of Water is preferred in most cases, the ratio must be guaged to yield an impregnant of the viscosity desired for the specific applicator system and substrate employed. Sodium hexameta-phosphate may also be added to reduce viscosity and such addition is optional. In the case of low density fibrous substrates, the viscosity of the impregnant is normally increased by increasing the percentage of solids. This may be employed to control the rate and depth of impregnation. However, the impregnation depth and rate may also be controlled by means independent of the impregnant.
- vacuum or mechanically pressurized impregnation e.g. a doctor blade
- a highly viscous impregnant may be employed to force a highly viscous impregnant to the desired depth within the fibrous substrate.
- the fibrous substrate may be pre-treated with a weting agent, e.g. sprayed with a solution of an organosilicone fluid, to facilitate and control the rate and depth of impregnation by viscous slurries.
- the wetting agent may be incorporated in the impregnant.
- the sili ceous fibers which make up the low density boards treated in accordance with the invention frequently contain a water repellent which causes the board to resist wetting and penetration by the aqueous slurries which are employed.
- either the board should be pretreated with a wetting agent, or an agent capable of modifying the surface tension properties of the slurry should be incorporated in the slurry.
- a wetting agent which has proved highly satisfactory for the above purpose is sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate having a molecular weight of 444 and available from American Cyanamid under the tradename Aerosol OT.
- Various other ingredients such as reinforcements, opacifiers, fillers, wetting agents, antifoaming agents, dispersing agents, and the like, may be added to the inventive impregnants.
- Typical of such additives are asbestos, asbestine, wollastonite,'titania, zircon, zirconia, alumina, carbon black, crystalline silica, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, magnesium carbonate, ferric sulfate, sodium hexametaphosphate, and the like.
- a fluxing agent such as sodium oxide may be added to a ball clay in a quantity adequate to exert a fluxing etfect upon only a portion of the clay, e.g. 8% by weight.
- a fluxing agent such as sodium oxide may be added to a ball clay in a quantity adequate to exert a fluxing etfect upon only a portion of the clay, e.g. 8% by weight.
- Such an expedient also results in a molten or ceramic adhesive phase but is more expensive and difficult to prepare, since minerals which naturally contain a fluxing agent content, e.g. feldspar, are readily available.
- the products of the invention comprise an acoustical panel, board, or tile formed from siliceous fibers bonded or entangled into a mass having a density in the range of 1 to 30 p.c.f., and possessing two substantially parallel major surfaces, one of which is impregnated with the inventive compositions.
- the resultant product retains its desirable acoustical and thermal insulating values, while yielding highly improved structural integrity and resistance to heat or flame transfer when exposed to high temperatures.
- an unimpregnated zone of at least 50 mils and preferably mils must be preserved at the surface opposite the impregnated region.
- This unimpregnated zone also contributes to the thermal insulating properties of the boards.
- an impregnated region having a thickness of at least 125 mils is adequate for the ceiling board and an impregnated region extending at least below the kerf slot of the ceiling tile provides structural integrity permitting the boards to endure temperatures as high as 2500 F. for short periods of time without failing. It should be realized that in the case of thicker boards, the temperatures which are experienced by the impregnant are lower as the result of the layer of low density thermal insulation which is present at the outset between the impregnant and the heat source.
- the glass fiber boards which are impregnated according to the invention have an apparent density of from 1 to 30 pounds per cubic foot and are from 250 to 3,000 mils thick.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention comprise fibrous glass boards having a density in the range of 8 to 15 pounds per cubic foot, a thickness of from 350 to 1500 mils, and an impregnated region having a thickness of about 125 to 750 mils and generally about 125 to 200 mils for the ceiling boards; and an impregnated region for the ceiling tiles of about 250 to 750 mils and generally about 300 to 350 mils.
- the unimpregnated zone will comprise about 125 mils.
- Examples of such structures comprise one inch thick ceiling board with an impregnated zone or structural layer having a thickness of I25 mils, and a inch thick ceiling tile having an impregnated zone having a thickness of 250 to 300 niils.
- impregnants constituting between 03 to 0.8 pound (solids) per square foot of the impregnated board have proved satisfactory. It is preferred, however, that the impregnants constitute about 0.4 pound (solids) per square foot of the impregnated board in the case of the ceiling boards and about 0.65 pound per square foot of the impregnated board in the case of the ceiling tiles.
- a preferred product comprises a ceiling board having a density in the range of 9 to 13 pounds per cubic foot, a thickness of between 350 to 1500 mils, and containing 0.4 pound of the impregnant for each square foot of the impregnated board.
- a preferred ceiling tile comprises a board having a density in the range of 9 to 13 pounds per cubic foot, a thickness of between 350 to 1500 mils and containing 0.65 pound of the impregnant for each square foot of the impregnated board.
- boards having densities of between 1 to 30 pounds per cubic foot and a thickness as great as 3 inches have been prepared and have had the desired properties.
- ceiling boards and tiles having an overall weight of at least 1 pound per square foot are particularly valuable for their acoustical properties; in common with unimpregnated boards and tiles they do not reflect sound to a substantial extent, but, in addition, such impregnated products have a Sound Transmission Coefiicient of about 40, which means that they do not transmit sound well.
- a x 2 x 5 board having an overall density of 16 pounds per cubic foot would meet these requirements, and could comprise a glass fiber board having an apparent density of 12 pounds per cubic foot and an applied impregnant according to the invention amounting to 0.25 pound of solids per square foot.
- Such a board is doubly useful: as a fire-rated acoustical material, as discussed above, and for sound attenuation,
- FIGURE 1 provides a fragmentary, sectional view through a fibrous ceiling board prepared in accordance with the invention.
- one surface 11 of the low density, fibrous board 12 has been impregnated to yield a dense layer 13 which serves as a structural member.
- the dense layer 13 also contains the fibers 14 of which the board 12 is composed, and which provide an additional benefit in reinforcing the dense layer 13.
- a low density unimpregnated phase 15 is left intact at the opposite surface 16 of the board 12 to provide the desired thermal and acoustical properties.
- a ceiling tile is similar in appearance except that an edge kerf is provided, and the structural member extends at least as far as the kerf.
- the structural value of the dense layer 13 functions primarily after the fibers of the low density unimpregnated phase 15 have been weakened, softened or melted and following pyrolysis of the resin binder. At such time, the dense layer 13 becomes the primary or sole supporting, spanning, or suspending means and may provide the sole source of structural integrity for the board 12.
- the dense layer 13 does not remain inert upon expose to temperatures in the range of 1500 F. or higher.
- inorganic impregnants resistant to temperatures as high as 3000 F. were employed as the dense layer 13, the structures still failed at temperatures far below the melting points of the impregnants. It is believed that such failures were the result of the absence of an adequate binder phase within the impregnants. In effect, the inert impregnants suffered from thermal erosion or the like, lost integrity, and failed. It was found that the use of the inventive binder phase, i.e.
- the low density fibrous boards employed as the substrate utilized in the above examples and impregnated in the practice of the invention are typified by those disclosed by U.S. 2,790,741, 2,791,289, 2,882,764, 2,984,312, 3,082,143, 3,111,188, 3,118,516, 3,159,235, and similar structures employing glass, mineral wool or asbestos fibers.
- the ceiling board is impregnated with an aqueous slurry of an impregnant according to the invention which contains 50% solids by weight and has a viscosity of approximately to 200 centipoises. Impregnation to the desired depth i.e., approximately to mils, is conveniently achieved by knife coating which takes only a matter of seconds. In producing ceiling tiles, basic boards previously impregnated to the required depth and dried are cut to the desired dimension, kerfed, and painted.
- impregnation can be effected by using a somewhat more dilute aqueous slurry of the impregnant according to the invention or by applying vacuum to a board carrying the same slurry to achieve the required depth of impregnation.
- the viscosity should not be such that complete penetration or even partial penetration of the Zone which is necessarily left unimpregnated for preservation of acoustical properties results.
- the fibrous board may be first Washed, but not thoroughly impregnated, i.e.
- the impregnated structures are prepared by depositing a slurry of the inventive impregnant upon one surface of the fibrous board, introducing the impregnant within the voids present upon and below one surface of the porous board without filling the voids present upon and adjacent the opposite surface of the board, and drying the impregnant.
- FIGURE 2 shows a schematic representation of apparatus suitable for the impregnation of low density siliceous fiber substrates.
- fibrous boards 21 are carried by means of a foraminous conveyor belt 22 beneath a trough 23 which dispenses an impregnating slurry 24 upon the upper surface 25 of the boards 21.
- the deposited impregnant 26 is then passed beneath a metering knife blade 27 which controls the thickness and consequently the quantity of the deposited impregnant 26.
- the boards 21 are then passed beneath and in contact with a pressure roll 28 which forces the deposited impregnant within the upper surface of the boards 21.
- the boards 21 and foraminous conveyor belt 22 may then be passed over a suction box 29 which serves to draw the impregnant within the boards 21 and may implement or replace the effect of the pressure roll 28.
- a sprinkler 30 may deposit a wetting agent such as a silicone fluid upon the upper surface 25 of the boards 21 prior to the deposition of the impregnant.
- a wetting agent such as a silicone fluid
- the drying of the impregnant may be accomplished by conventional oven treatments.
- boards having a density of approximately 11.5 p.c.f., a thickness of between 350 to 1000 mils, and containing an impregant layer weighing approximately 0.8pound (aqueous slurry, 50% solids) per square foot of the board may be oven dried at a temperature of 400 F., in approximately one hour.
- the primary sources of control for both the rapidity and the degree of impregnation reside in the matching of the viscosity and/or surface tension of the impregnant in relation to the density of the board the slurry may be merely metered and evenly deposited upon the upper surface of the board, and will immediately fiow to a desired depth within the upper surface of the board, without penetrating to the opposite surface.
- a binder composition was prepared, as described below, from the following ingredients:
- the water was added to a mixing tank provided with a propeller-type agitator, and agitation was begun.
- the other ingredients were then added in the order in which they are listed. Agitation was allowed to continue for about five minutes after the completion of the additions to assure substantial uniformity of the completed binder composition.
- the above binder composition was sprayed into a forming hood for association with glass fibers which were simultaneously being projected onto a foraminous conveyor passing through the forming hood and collected in a wool-like open, non-Woven, intermeshed mass.
- the Wool-like mass of glass fibers and associated binder was advanced on the conveyor into a curing oven under a compression member to provide an apparent density of 12 pounds per cubic foot and a thickness of In the curing oven at a temperature of about 400 F., the compressed mass of fibers and associated binder was converted to a hardened condition binding the fibers relative to one another at points of contact producing a hard board material.
- the time in the curing oven was about 240 seconds.
- the continuous board produced was cut into 1 x l, 2' x 4, and 4' x 8 lengths.
- the final boards had an ignition loss of about 12 percent, which means that approximately 12 percent of the total weight of the board was the organic binder composition.
- these board products received a fire rating of 1 hour.
- phenolic Resin A was produced by charging a reaction vessel with 80 parts of phenol, 123 parts of a 50 percent water solution of formaldehyde, 19.3 parts of water and 12 parts of barium hydrate (Ba(OH) .8H O), and heating the resulting charge for a total of seven hours during which time it was stirred by a propeller-type agitator.
- the charge first was heated to 110 F., and maintained at about such temperature for approximately two hours, and was then heated to and held at about 140 F. for the remaining five hours, at which time the refractive index of the reaction mixture was 1.4620 and the infra-red absorption analysis indicated that it was substantially free of unreacted phenol and also of methylene groups.
- reaction products were then cooled to approximately 100 F., and neutralized with sulfuric acid to a pH of about 7.5.
- a 28 part charge of dicyandiamide was then added to the neutralized reaction products, and the resulting mixture was heated to and maintained at approximately 140 F. for an additional one hour period.
- the reaction products were then cooled to approximately room temperature of 75 F., and neutralized with further sulfuric acid to a pH of approximately 7.4.
- the pinewood pitch extract used in the binder composition was resinous in nature. It can be isolated as described in US. Patent 2,391,368 (page 2, col. 1, lines 34 and following). It had the following analysis:
- the asbestine used in the binder composition set forth above had a specific gravity at 20 C. of 2.78, and the following chemical analysis:
- Relative diameter Percent fines about: in microns 98 30
- the TiO actually used in the binder composition identified above was anatase, and had a Refractive Index of 2.55, a specific gravity of 3.9, and comprised about 98 percent TiO 1 percent A1 0 the balance being impurities, and had an average particle mean diameter of about 0.3 micron.
- Impregnant (57% solids) An impregnating composition was prepared, as described below, from the following ingredients.
- the water and colloidal silica were charged to a mixing tank equipped with a shear-type mixing blade. Mixing was begun at low speed (about 800 revolutions per minute) and continued throughout the charging of the sodium hexametaphosphate, the feldspar and the bentonite. The Ball clay was then charged and mixed at high speed (about 1200 revolutions per minute) for fifteen minutes before reducing mixing speed (about 800 revolutions per minute) and charging of the sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate and of the silicone antifoam agent. Low speed mixing was continued for an additional 5 minutes to assure uniformity of the dispersion and to break up any clay agglomerates. The silicone foam agent or Stoddard solvent alone is used as needed to control foaming.
- the fibrous bonded boards produced as previously described were impregnated with the above composition in order to provide structural integrity, especially at temperatures in excess of 1000 F.
- the manner of impregnation will be understood by reference to FIGURE 2.
- a ceiling board 21 was first charged onto a foraminous conveyor belt 22 beneath a trough 23 which dispensed the impregnating slurry 24 upon the upper surface 25 of the board 21.
- the board 21 and deposited impregnant 26 were then passed beneath a metering knife blade 27 which controlled the thickness and the quantity of the deposited impregnant 26 so that the thickness was 125 mils and the amount deposited was 0.4 pound per square foot of the finished board.
- the board 21 was then passed beneath and in contact with the pressure roll 28 which further smoothed and helped to control the depth of the impregnant deposited within the upper surface of the board 21.
- the board 21 was then advanced into an oven (not shown) at a temperature of 400 P. where it was dried for about an hour.
- the ceiling board received a fire rating of at least two hours.
- kerfed ceiling tiles were produced from ceiling boards 21 impregnated to a depth of about 300 mils, using vacuum, by cutting to size and kerfing.
- the tile When subjected to the Underwriters Laboratory Test as previously described, the tile received a fire rating of at least two hours.
- the final weight of the ceiling board was 1 pound per square foot and the final weight of the ceiling tile was 1.2 pounds per square foot.
- the STC of both products ranged from 26 to 42.
- a slurry having a viscosity of approximately 100-200 centipoises it is preferred to employ a slurry having a viscosity of approximately 100-200 centipoises. In such case, the slurry flows entirely within the board to a depth of approximately 125-180 mils within a matter of 1 to 3 seconds.
- the treating materials of this invention can also be used for bonding aggregates such as vermiculite, perlite, glass foam pellets, glass beads and the like to produce products such as high temperature resistant pipe insulation.
- these treating compositions can be used for near total impregnation coupled with one or more backcoatings to provide novel effects.
