Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a high performance door, and more specifically, a high performance door that has a gas-entrained cementitious core.
- the typical high performance door as well as other types of doors, include face surfaces, edge surfaces, core materials, and adhesives.
- the face surfaces function as an aesthetic layer, a barrier to light in the infrared and visible wavelengths, a barrier to rain and wind, a stiffening member, and a barrier to fire.
- the edge surfaces through the use of adhesives, act as a connecting element between the face surfaces.
- the edge surfaces act as a substrate for lock and hinge hardware.
- the edge surfaces act as a sealing surface for weather stripping.
- the edge surfaces also serve as a stiffening member, a door reinforcement, and a mating substrate connector.
- the core material serves as a stiffening member, a connecting element between the face surfaces, a barrier to light in the infrared and visible wavelengths, a provider of bulk mass, and a barrier to fire.
- the elements of the high performance door may have one element that serves multiple purposes.
- Wood fire doors are typically heavy since they typically incorporate a fire retardant core. The wood door faces will split or crack if not maintained, and are generally unsuitable for weather exposure for extended times due to moisture variations and damage from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Moreover, wood fire doors typically do not act as sufficient thermal insulators.
- Fiberglass fire doors have been made with polyurethane foam/gypsum board cores, mineral cores, and phenolic foam. These doors are typically resistant to rusting, denting, cracking, and splitting and require relatively low maintenance.
- fiberglass fire doors regularly fail positive pressure fire tests.
- fiberglass fire doors are substantially more expensive than existing steel fire doors.
- High insulation doors have been manufactured for many years. High insulation doors conserve energy in residences and save lives during fires, especially in institutions serving the physically handicapped. In designing high insulation doors, one of the major considerations is the stiffness of the door. To enhance the stiffness in many high insulation doors, foamed rigid polyurethane is commonly used as a core material.
- foamed rigid polyurethane is typically used, it suffers from relatively low compression strength (from about 16 lbf/ft 2 to about 20 lbf/ft 2 ), a relatively low Young's modulus of about 25,000 lbf/in 2 , and a relatively low sound transmission coefficient of 28 or less for rigid polyurethane foams with densities of about 2.1 lb/ft 3 to about 2.4 lb/ft 3 .
- Changing the formulation of polyurethane foams to enhance stiffness and sound protection typically results in higher costs due to added materials necessary for fabrication, especially the use of expensive aromatic ring compounds.
- Conventional high insulation doors suffer from certain performance limitations. Most high insulation doors used in residences are filled with foams of thermoplastic or thermoset organic polymers. These doors have a relatively low u- factor of less than 0.50. In addition, these doors do not perform well during extended exposure to fire.
- High insulation doors generally require stiff skins of metal or fiberglass to provide the structural strength that is typically necessary for residential applications. Stiff skins are generally more expensive than other aesthetic surfaces, therefore high insulation doors composed of stiff skins typically cost more than other residential doors. Moreover, these doors are lighter in weight than wood doors. Since consumers correlate increased weight with increased quality and security, consumers are not drawn to high insulation doors that are lighter than wood doors. High insulation doors commonly provide insufficient resistance to sound transmission for use in areas requiring sound transmission coefficients that exceed about 28, for example, in light commercial buildings near airports.
- the high performance doors of the present invention provide a gas- entrained cementitious core that is relatively inexpensive to manufacture, passes positive pressure fire tests, resisting rusting, denting, and cracking, and requires relatively low maintenance.
- the methods of the present invention provide a means of manufacturing the high performance doors of the present invention with the above-mentioned attributes.

- Gas-entrained cementitious materials refer to inorganic materials or mixtures of inorganic materials which sets and develops strength by a chemical reaction with water by formation of hydrates, and which entrains more than about 5 volume % gas, preferably between about 10 and about 80 volume % , more preferably between about 30 and about 60 volume % , and most preferably between about 40 and about 55 volume % .
- the gas can come from a variety of sources including, but not limited to direct gas injection, microspheres containing gases, porous particles containing gases, and in-situ chemical reactions or changes in the state of matter.
- materials entrained may not always be in the gaseous phase, particularly when environmental temperatures to which the article is exposed change significantly.
- the gases may migrate through time and be replaced by other gases or liquids.
- Controlled low strength cementitious material a subset of gas-entrained cementitious materials, refers to a generic term for flowable cementitious materials having a self-compacting property and a strength of less than 1,200 lbf/in 2 (8.27 MPa), preferably an unconfined ultimate compressive strength of 30-500 lbf/in 2 , and most preferably an unconfined compressive strength of 50-250 lbf/in 2 .
- CLSMs are also commonly referred to as flowable fill, flow fill, or controlled density fill.
- Air-modified controlled low strength cementitious materials refer to a CLSM which has entrained in it more than 5 volume % air, preferably between about 10 to about 80 volume % air, more preferably between about 30 to about 60 volume % air, and most preferably about 40 to about 55 volume % air.
- Foamed cement slurries refer to a type of air-modified controlled low strength cementitious material in which the cementitious material is any type of hydraulic cement, most preferably Portland cement, in which air or other gases are entrained at more than 5 volume % air or other gas, preferably between about 10 to about 80 volume % air or other gas, more preferably between about 30 to about 60 volume % air or other gas, and most preferably between about 40 to about 55 volume % air or other gas.
- Portland cement is defined in ASTM C-150 and is a variety of blended hydraulic cement as defined in ASTM C-595.
- Foamed cement slurries are most preferably utilized to produce gas- entrained cementitious cores by transferring the foamed cement slurry into the interior door cavity 16.
- the foamed cement slurry is prepared by mixing hydraulic cement, water, and a foaming agent. Typically, air and water are mixed with the foaming agent to produce a foaming solution with entrained air. Once the foamed cement slurry is cured, the entrained air inhibits freeze- thaw spalling of the gas- entrained cementitious core. Once mixed, the foamed cement slurry can be transferred into the interior door cavity 16. Preferred methods for transferring the foamed cement slurry into the interior door cavity are discussed in more detail below.
- the water to cement ratio in the foamed cement slurry is greater than about 38 parts water to about 100 parts cement by weight. If the ratio falls short of 0.38, the resulting door member can be unacceptably weak. Additional additives, such as water reducers, setting accelerators, superplasticizers, reinforcement fibers, and expanded polystyrene beads, can be added to the foamed cement slurry to enhance properties, such as flow rate, curing rate, weight, or rigidity. It should be understood that reinforcing fibers refer to a fiber or a bundle of fibers having an aspect ratio greater than 4, which results in one or more increased mechanical properties when present.
- Water reducers in general, improve the workability of cement slurries and reduce the amount of mixing water for a given workability. Typically this is about 5-15 % reduction in water usage.
- Water reducers are frequently drawn from the groups consisting of condensed naphthalene sulfonic acids, salts of lignosulfonic acids, salts of hydroxycarboxylic acids, carbohydrates and blends thereof.
- Superplasticizers also known as superfluidizers, super water reducers, and high range water reducers, are a class of water reducers capable of reducing the water usage by at least about 30% .
- superplasticizers break down the large irregular agglomerates of cement particles by virtue of deflocculation due to adsorption and electrostatic repulsion, as well as some steric effects.
- Superplasticizers are typically drawn from a group consisting of sulfonated melamine-formaldehyde condensates, sulfonated naphthalene-formaldehyde condensates, modified lignosulfonates, sulfonic acid esters, polyacrylates, polystyrene sulfonates, and blends thereof.
- cements that are suitable for use in the present invention contain additives.
- additives can include cementitious and pozzolanic additives.
- Cementitious additives refer to an inorganic material or mixture of inorganic materials which forms or assists to form cementitious materials which develops strength by chemical reaction with water by formation of hydrates.
- Cementitious additives are generally rich in silica and alumina.
- pozzolanic additives refer to siliceous or alumino-siliceous material which in itself possesses little or no cementitious value, but which when in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture will chemically react with alkali and alkaline earth hydroxides at ordinary temperatures to form or assist in forming compounds possessing cementitious properties.
- pozzolanic additives can include Class C fly ash from burning lignite coal, Class F fly ash from burning bituminous coal, pulverized-fuel fly ash, condensed silica fume, metakaolin, rubber ash, and glass cullet. Additives found in cement are particularly useful in increasing the mass of the resulting door member.
- Insulating gases can replace entrained air to provide greater insulation. These gases include molecules that generally have a higher atomic mass than air. Possible examples include halocarbons and hydrohalocarbons, such as HCFC-22, HFC-134a, HFC-245fa, HFC-365mfc; noble gases, such as argon, xenon, and krypton; sulfur hexafluoride; hydrocarbons, such as pentane; and mixtures thereof.
