The present invention relates generally to fire proof material, and more particularly, to a fire proof compound having a fire proof property for a variety of applications including a fire proof wallboard used in construction of interior walls and ceilings.
Wallboard, sheetrock, drywall, and other terms are common names given to panels constructed from gypsum and cardboard. These panels are used extensively in the construction of interior residential, commercial, and industrial walls, floors, and ceilings to produce flat walls and other important surfaces. A sheet of drywall is typically produced by putting gypsum, which is essentially a type rock that was turned into a powder, in between two pieces of incredibly thick paper. Gypsum drywall is sold commercially in a variety of sizes, thickness, and type. Gypsum drywall is manufactured and distributed by many international manufacturers.
Prior art reveals a plurality of methods and practices for the manufacture of gypsum wallboard with varying technique and apparatus, such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,288,263 (1981); U.S. Pat. No. 5,116,671 (1992); U.S. Pat. No. 4,392,896 (1983); and U.S. Pat. No. 5,116,671 (1992). Additional U.S. patents and publications include U.S. Pat. No. 1,372,478; U.S. Pat. No. 2,728,702; U.S. Pat. No. 3,336,710; U.S. Pat. No. 4,862,662; U.S. Pat. No. 5,251,917; U.S. Pat. No. 8,398,024; U.S. Pat. No. 8,490,362; U.S. Pat. No. 8,661,757; US20080345923; US20120240504.
Every 24 seconds, a U.S. fire department responds to a fire somewhere in the nation. Fire occurs in a structure at the rate of one every 64 seconds, and a home fire occurs every 86 seconds. Fires occur in highway vehicles at the rate of one every 3 minutes 8 seconds, and there is a fire in an outside and other property every 52 seconds. Fire-resistant construction materials can play an important role in helping to reduce fire incidence.
Drywall is relatively fire resistant as it is composed of gypsum, which is not flammable, pressed between two sheets of thick paper. Additionally, water is incorporated into its structure. In the presence of fire, heat energy vaporizes the water, removing it gradually. Water effectively blocks the transfer of heat through the drywall. Once the water dissipates, the gypsum begins to heat past the boiling point of water, and may begin to burn. Some drywall manufacturers add glass fibers to the gypsum, which increases fire resistance of drywall. The glass fibers are non-combustible and help maintain the integrity of the drywall as it is dehydrated. The fiber-added drywall is also called fire wall. Type X fire wall ⅝-inch thick on both sides of a 2×4 studded wall should provide about 1 hour of fire protection. Type C fire wall has even better fire protection.
However, the existing drywall or fire wall is not completely fire proof and can only sustain a range of temperatures from 80° to 170° C. Accordingly, there is an established need for a drywall that provides complete fire proof and that has added value without substantial additional cost.
The present invention is directed to a practical and cost effective way of manufacturing a fire proof wallboard that can provide complete fire protection and that can also shield radiation. The fire proof wallboard manufactured according to the present invention can sustain a heat temperature of 3200° F. to 3623° F. applied with a torch without heat being transferred to the other side of the wall. The fire proof wallboard can also provide radiation protection proven by using EMP electromagnetic radiation.
The present invention can be applied to any drywall wallboard or fire barrier used in construction of interior walls and ceilings. Specifically, the new material MgSO4.7H2O) (Mg4Si6O15(OH)2.6H2O) CaO (s)+H2O (1)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3 O10) can be added to the gypsum substrate of a wallboard during the manufacturing process for creating a fire proof wallboard. This material can also be added to make fire proof paint or any other materials. An existing wallboard manufacturing process line could be modified to accept the additional process of adding MgSO4.7H2O) (Mg4Si6O15(OH)2.6H2O) CaO (s)+H2O (1)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3 O10) during the board forming process. Utilizing an existing line for the manufacture of “standard” and “fire wall” board would be very effective for the fire proof.

The present invention focuses primarily on wall panels constructed of gypsum and cardboard, but also has applications to other panels used in similar applications, which are constructed of similar, but not identical materials. The present invention creates a new application to standards drywall by adding MgSO4.7H2O) (Mg4Si6O15(OH)2.6H2O) CaO (s)+H2O (1)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3 O10) properties of the fire wall panel. The complete, finished product would show no apparent difference to the consumer. A fire wall panel and standard drywall panel would look identical in every respect and fire wall panels would be used in similar applications as standard drywall panels. In most applications, the fire wall panels would be used in the construction of interior walls, but would also have applications as radiation block panels and/or can be treated with paint, wallpaper, or coverings in a normal fashion. After fire wall panels are treated with the final cosmetic paint or wallpaper, the panel can be utilized as a surface to apply to a wide variety of areas that contain a flat surface in a similar fashion as it would in fact act as a fire wall board. For a new home, school or office, it can be constructed same as drywall.
The compound formula was tested on increasing percentage of formula on household items such an ordinary napkin that was used layer by layer, exposed to high heat from a blowtorch temperature is 3,623 F. Further is was tested on panels ¼ inch thick with increasing percentage of compound—depending on the function and purpose of the medium used. Each test on this novel discovery showed no effect from high heat. The compound was also tested in liquid state in a solvent with alcohol of 15% of MgS04.7H20) 15% of (Mg4Si6O15(0H)2.6H2O) 5% of CaO (s)+H2O (I)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO and 5% of (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3O10) turned in to white sludge. This test mixed with paint demonstrates that the paint is fire resistant. Further, test showed 97% of MgS04.7H20) 1% of (Mg4Si6O15(0H)2.6H2O) 1% of CaO (s)+H2O (I)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO and 1% of (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3O10) blocks the electromagnetic field. The reason for this novel discovery is due to test of the magnetic field, FWP as follows: MgS04.7H20) 5 to 15% (Mg4Si6O15(0H)2.6H2O) 20 to40% CaO (s)+H2O (I)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO 20 to 40% (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3O10) 30 to 60% depends on flexibility requirements for properties of the fire wall panel.
During the fire wall manufacturing process, material for the finished cardboard-covering is applied by adhesive means directly to the top of the interior surface. This task is performed and tested during the inspection of the fire wall, and like a drywall panel reveals no visible difference between the fire wall panel and a standard drywall panel. The only apparent difference would be in the slight increase of weight in the fire wall panel.
The size of the fire wall panel can vary according to its application. It is anticipated that the most common application of the board would be like any other panel when it is positioned in a normal vertical location. Horizontally installed panels can also accommodate building requirements.
The fire wall panel would not significantly affect or interfere with standard and accepted methods and practices of fire wall, erecting or contouring drywall. Nails, screws, and adhesive can be used in a normal fashion.
New fire wall panels after installation can be treated with paint, wallpaper, or coverings in a normal fashion.
If desired, new fire wall panels can be used at any place where fireproofing is desired or where other fireproofing requirements are needed. Other uses for the fireproofing can be use in vehicles, airplanes, homes, offices, schools, and innumerable other applications. In fact, the addition of the fire wall improved and creates a stronger surface.
Fire wall panels can be made to any size or shape depending on the dimension or orientation of the required panel, or the amount of surface required for application. Tests have confirmed that the covering with fire wall panel with its normal covering paper and the cosmetic covering of paint or wallpaper do not interfere with the application type and shape of itself, and the new fire wall board is electromagnetic proof also. Testing indicates that magnetic field is weak or can be completely electromagnetic proof. Closings and other similar activities do not affect the strength.
The key to the present invention is quality material. Tests have confirmed that the fire wall panels are 100% fire proof. For lightweight objects that are used in everyday applications, the fire wall board would provide the consumer a choice presently not available between standard fire wall wallboard during the construction stage of a building or addition. Families would find the fire wall board very safe would be fire proof and can completely replace standard wallboard for all wall board uses. Education and introduction to fire wall board would account for approximately 30% more than wallboard market. Due to value added qualities, producers of fire wall panel would be able to charge consumers a premium product. Standard wallboard is a commodity with a great deal of competition between producers. The market for wallboard continues to grow with no apparent cost effective replacement in sight. There is very little difference in product or in wholesale and retail pricing of fire wall board between manufacturers. Because of this factor, a producer of fire wall panel would be able to differentiate and clearly establish as an innovator. The premium of fire wall board would allow a producer to realize a relatively short period of time return on investment of R&D, and process line modifications. This is a product that appeals to the consumer. The present invention allows producers of fire wall board to refine the invention and introduce it to the marketplace.
The present invention has applications primarily on wall panels constructed of gypsum and cardboard, but has applications to other panels used in similar applications, which are constructed of similar, but not identical materials. The present invention describes a concept that addresses the creation of a new application of standards drywall or any other fire resistant, shield or material by adding MgSO4.7H2O) (Mg4Si6O15(OH)2.6H2O) CaO (s)+H2O (1)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3 O10) properties of a fire wall panel. Completed, finished product would show no apparent difference to the consumer. A fire wall panel and a standard drywall panel would look identical in every respect. Fire wall panels would be used in similar applications as standard drywall panels. This section describes two processes of inserting a MgSO4.7H2O) (Mg4Si6O15(OH)2.6H2O) CaO (s)+H2O (1)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3 O10) gypsum or similar material fire wall board panel during the manufacturing process.
For the purpose of this description, it is desired that the new fire wall board process be described as the most common like any other sheets or fire resistant materials. It is understood that the process of sheets of other perimeter and thickness dimension could be modified to accomplish the intention of the present invention.
It is highly desirable that an existing wallboard manufacturing process line could be modified to accept the additional process of by adding MgSO4.7H2O) (Mg4Si6O15(OH)2.6H2O) CaO (s)+H2O (1)⇄Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) (CaSO4.2H2O) H4 Mg2 Si3 O10) during the board forming process. Utilizing an existing line for the manufacture of “standard” and “fire wall” board would be very effective for the fire proof.
Fire wall board may in fact utilize completely different properties and composition for technical or marketing purposes.
The material and the application process of manufacturing “fire wall” board is identical to the manufacture of “Standard” wallboard.
In a second process, the new material can be mixed directly in a paint, making fire proof paint alternative which solves several problems.
The placement of the new material into the board substrate would not affect the structural integrity of the wallboard in its final application. Fire wall board generally is fragile when handled roughly. Most of its collective strength is supported and reinforced by the handling properties of fire wall board. The only physical difference would be the slight increase in overall weight. The increase in weight would not affect the fire wall board's performance in any known application.
Fire wall board is handled in the same fashion as standard wallboard. In most applications, the fire wall board is directed specifically toward flat whole wall sections where the use of fire wall board configurations would be recommended to save life. If money is not a factor, fire wall board could be utilized in every application that standard wallboard is used. In most cases installing fire wall board instead of standard wall board would adequately perform the task and outperforms the standard board in conforming to fire code. In fact, fire wall board is fire proof.
All the materials for the fire wall board are commercially available. see the following Chemical Composition:
(CaSO4.2H2O)
mineral most commonly found in layered sedimentary deposits in association with halite, anhydrite, sulfur, calcite, and dolomite. (CaSO4.2H2O) is very similar to Anhydrite (CaSO4). The chemical difference is that (CaSO4.2H2O) contains two waters and Anhydrite without water.

As it hydrates, an exothermic reaction results and the solid puffs up. The hydrate can be reconverted. There is archeological evidence that humans used for flooring and other uses. Such remained in use until the late nineteenth century. Chemical or power production: Solid sprays or slurries of calcium oxide
(Mg4Si6O15(OH)2.6H2O)
Magnesium silicate clay mineral with composition Mg4Si6O15 (OH) 2.6H2O is a clay-like hydrous magnesium silicate. It has no crystals, and occurs as earthy aggregates, porcellanous masses, nodular, and porous. In the fresh state, it is soapy and soft, but hard when dried.
(MgSO4.7H2O)
Name: Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate
Alias: Formula: MgSO4.7H2O
Molar Mass: 246.4746 MgSO4.7H2O
It is a white crystal. It is soluble in water density 2.66 g/cm3. MgSO4.7H2O may dehydrate at room temperature. Magnesium sulphate is an inorganic chemical containing magnesium and oxygen with the formula MgSO4. It is often encountered as the heptahydrate sulfate mineral epsomite (MgSO4.7H2O), clay. The monohydrate, MgSO4.H2O is found as the mineral kieserite, the majority of which was used in agriculture.
Anhydrous magnesium sulfate is used as a drying agent. The anhydrous form is hygroscopic (readily absorbs water from the air) and is therefore difficult to weigh accurately; the hydrate is often preferred when preparing solutions (for example, used in medical preparations).
To increase the resistance to fires mix with paint. Many solvent dissolves a wide range of non-polar compounds. It also evaporates quickly, leaves nearly zero oil traces, compared to ethanol, and is some solvents relatively non-toxic, compared to alternative solvents. Thus, it is used widely as a solvent and as a cleaning fluid, especially for dissolving oils. Together with ethanol, butane, and methanol, it belongs to the group of alcohol solvents, about 6.4 million tones of which were utilized worldwide
In a drywall, wallboards, engine heat shield, muffler & exhaust, fire place shielding. In liquid can be used for forest fire, sub floor shielding. In most paint, cars interior heat shielding, aircraft heat shield, in Aerospace application, heat shield and radiation shielding, satellite heat shield and radiation, military application, boat heat shield, ship heat shield, blanket-type insulation, the radiant barrier, and radiation barrier.
Paint can be applied as a solid, a gaseous suspension, or a liquid. Techniques vary depending on the practical or results desired.
In the liquid application, dissolving (MgSO4.7H2O) (Mg4Si6O15(OH)2.6H2O) CaO (s)+H2O (1)+Ca(OH)2 (aq) (ΔHr=−63.7 kJ/mol of CaO) (CaSO4.2H2O) before adding into the paint after paint can be applied by direct application, or other.
Allowing painting at different heights. Generally, requires two coats for even color used to apply paint on uneven surfaces. In drywall application formula is slightly different.
After liquid paint is applied, there is an interval during which it can be blended with additional painted regions. Oil or alkyd-based emulsion paint can be extended by adding similar glycols such as Dowanol (propylene glycol ether) or open time prolongers. This can also facilitate the mixing of different wet paint layers for aesthetic effect, such as Latex and acrylic emulsions.
Many paints tend to separate when stored, the heavier components settling to the bottom, and require mixing before use. Some paint outlets have machines for mixing the paint by shaking the can vigorously for a few minutes; application mechanism is air depositing a layer of primer. The opacity and the film thickness of paint may be measured. Water-based paints tend to be the easiest to use; the brushes and rollers can be cleaned with soap and water. It contains no prohibited substances. Disposal of liquid paint usually requires special handling and should be treated as hazardous waste, and disposed of according to local regulations.
