Publication number: 20230285894Abstract: Slurries and methods of making slurries for modifying and extending relative humidity control ranges. The slurries may include a saturated aqueous salt and one or more other reagents selected to provide a controlled modifiable narrow range of relative humidity. The saturated aqueous salt may be one or more of sodium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium citrate, sodium formate, and/or magnesium chloride, and the one or more other reagents may be one or more of a lactate salt, glycerol, and/or an acetate salt, for example.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Applicant: Boveda, Inc.Inventors: Tina O'Shea, Robert L. Esse, Jonathan W. DeVries, Brian Rice

Patent number: 10913585Abstract: A container assembly configured to maintain a predetermined humidity for storing a product therein. The container assembly includes a container having a body with a body wall and a mouth opening into a storage cavity and a cap having a top wall. The cap is selectively mountable over the mouth of the container to substantially enclose the storage cavity in a mounted configuration. A sidewall extends substantially perpendicularly from one of the body wall and the top wall. The sidewall defines an opening and a compartment and has an opening edge adjacent the opening. A moisture control material is positioned within the compartment. A sealing membrane has a peripheral portion. The peripheral portion is secured to the sidewall proximate the opening edge. The sealing membrane is configured to allow moisture flow therethrough to maintain the predetermined humidity in the storage cavity.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignees: DRUG PLASTICS & GLASS COMPANY, INC., BOVEDA, INC.Inventors: Lissa Biesecker Longacre, Frederick N. Biesecker, II, Douglas S. Camomile, Bruce T. Cleevely, Alex M. Warmkessel, Robert Esse, Timothy H. Bohrer, Brian Rice, Kyle A. Moll, Eric Weller
