  • Publication number: 20230069808
    Abstract: A kit is configured to perform contactless terpene infusion of one or more cannabis materials. The kit includes a terpene composition. Furthermore, the kit includes a carrier medium that is configured to at least partially absorb the terpene composition upon making contact with the terpene composition. Finally, the kit includes a removable tray adapted to (i) fit within a top portion of a container, (ii) receive the carrier medium, (iii) prevent the carrier medium from contacting the one or more cannabis materials situated within a bottom portion of the container, and (iv) infuse the one or more cannabis materials with an aroma from the carrier medium subsequent to the at least partial absorption of the terpene composition.

  • Publication number: 20210171268
    Abstract: A process is provided for infusing a cannabis storage container with a terpene composition. The process injects a pre-fabricated aroma emission device with the terpene composition. The pre-fabricated aroma emission device has one or more pores through which an aroma from the terpene composition is emitted. Further, the process positions the pre-fabricated aroma emission device within the cannabis storage container. Additionally, the process seals the cannabis storage container. The pre-fabricated aroma emission device emits the aroma of the terpene composition through the one or more pores without human activation after said sealing of the cannabis storage container. Alternatively, a process for manufacture is provided for manufacture of an aroma emission device.

  • Publication number: 20210171240
    Abstract: A storage apparatus, adapted for storage of one or more cannabis materials during terpene infusion, is provided. The storage apparatus has a bottom portion, a wall integrally formed to surround the bottom portion, and to extend upward from the bottom portion, a top portion, and a removable mesh shelf. The top portion is removable from the storage apparatus. Furthermore, the top portion is in contact with the wall during closure of the storage apparatus. The removable mesh shelf is configured to bifurcate the storage apparatus into a first chamber and a second chamber. The first chamber stores the one or more cannabis materials. Additionally, the second chamber stores a carrier medium for the terpene composition. The carrier medium emits an aroma from the terpene composition through the removable mesh to infuse the one or more cannabis materials with the aroma from the terpene composition.

  • Patent number: 8158698
    Abstract: The present invention provides a powder coating composition comprising at least one glycidyl-functionalised (meth) acrylic resin, 1 to 30 wt %, the wt % based on the total weight of component A), of at least one hydroxyl-functionalised alkyl acrylate alkyl methacrylate copolymer, and at least one component selected from the group consisting of pigments, fillers, cross-linking agents and/or coating additives different from component B). The powder coating composition of this invention can provide coatings having improved impact resistance, corrosion stability, heat resistance and weather resistance. The powder coating also has good properties including good flow behavior and durability against aggressive substances, such as, inorganic acids.

  • Publication number: 20110172328
    Abstract: The present invention provides a powder coating composition comprising A) at least one glycidyl-functionalised (meth) acrylic resin, B) 1 to 30 wt %, the wt % based on the total weight of component A), of at least one hydroxyl-functionalised alkyl acrylate alkyl methacrylate copolymer, and C) at least one component selected from the group consisting of pigments, fillers, cross-linking agents and/or coating additives different from component B). The powder coating composition of this invention comprising the at least one hydroxyl-functionalised alkyl acrylate alkyl methacrylate copolymer may provide coatings having a highly improved impact resistance, high corrosion stability and heat resistance, and, surprisingly, a high weather resistance (superdurability), by keeping the superior technology properties of the coating such as good flow behaviour and durability against aggressive substances, such as, inorganic acids.

  • Publication number: 20110072899
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor (100) for determining humidity, the sensor comprising a system (10) of layers arranged superpositioned on each other. For rendering a sensor (10) available which allows of the measuring of integral variables necessary for determining the humidity, the invention proposes that the system (10) comprises a diffusion barrier (11) in the form of a water-permeable layer and a storage layer in the form of a water-absorbing and irreversibly water-binding layer, where the diffusion barrier (11) and the storage layer (12) are in direct contact with each other and the diffusion barrier (11) has a temperature-dependent permeability (16).
