A wall repair compound useful for filling and repairing cracks, holes, and other imperfections in a wall surface includes a conventional filler material, a conventional binder material, and a dust reducing additive which reduces the quantity of airborne dust particles generated when sanding the hardened joint compound. Airborne dust reducing additives include oils, surfactants, solvents, waxes, and other petroleum derivatives. The additive can be added to conventional ready-mixed joint compounds and to setting type joint compounds. A method of reducing the quantity of airborne dust generated when sanding a fully hardened joint compound includes mixing a sufficient quantity of the dust reducing additive with the joint compound prior to when the joint compound has been applied to the wall.

A method of making a joint compound, the method comprising: combining water, from 25% by weight to about 95% by weight filler, from 1% by weight to 45% by weight binder, and a dust reducing additive comprising synthetic wax,the joint compound exhibiting a mud-like appearance and hardening when ex
1. A method of making a joint compound, the method comprising: combining water, from 25% by weight to about 95% by weight filler, from 1% by weight to 45% by weight binder, and a dust reducing additive comprising synthetic wax,the joint compound exhibiting a mud-like appearance and hardening when exposed to air,the hardened joint compound producing dust when sanded, the dust reducing additive being present in the joint compound in an amount such that the amount of dust generated by sanding the hardened joint compound is less than the amount of dust generated by sanding the same hardened joint compound in the absence of the dust reducing additive. 2. A joint compound composition comprising: water;from 25% by weight to about 95% by weight filler;from 1% by weight to 45% by weight binder; anda dust reducing additive comprising synthetic wax,the joint compound composition exhibiting a mud-like appearance and hardening when exposed to air, the hardened joint compound generates dust when sanded, the dust reducing additive being present in the joint compound in an amount such that the amount of dust generated by sanding the hardened joint compound is less than the amount of dust generated by sanding the same hardened joint compound in the absence of the dust reducing additive. 3. The joint compound composition of claim 2, comprising from 1% by weight to 10% by weight of the dust reducing additive. 4. The joint compound composition of claim 2, comprising from 1.5% by weight to 6% by weight of the dust reducing additive. 5. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the synthetic wax comprises polyethylene glycol. 6. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the synthetic wax comprises glycols. 7. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the synthetic wax is soluble in water. 8. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the synthetic wax forms a solid at room temperature. 9. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the joint compound comprises from 0.1% by weight to 10% by weight synthetic wax. 10. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the joint compound comprises glass bubbles. 11. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the joint compound comprises perlite. 12. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the joint compound comprises perlite and limestone. 13. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the joint compound comprises vinyl acetate. 14. The joint compound composition of claim 2, further comprising surfactant. 15. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the binder comprises at least one of ethylene vinyl acetate, vinyl acetate, and polyvinyl acetate. 16. A joint compound composition comprising: water;a binder comprising ethylene vinyl acetate, vinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetate, or a combination thereof;from about 25% by weight to about 95% by weight filler based on the weight of the joint compound composition, the filler comprising perlite; andfrom 0.1% by weight to about 10% by weight synthetic wax based on the weight of the joint compound composition,the joint compound composition exhibiting a mud-like appearance and hardening when exposed to air, the hardened composition being smoothable by sanding and generating dust when sanded. 17. The joint compound composition of claim 2, wherein the filler is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate dihydrate, calcium sulfate hemihydrate, glass micro bubbles, mica, perlite, talc, limestone, pyrophyllite, silica, diatomaceous earth, and combinations thereof.
