  • Time-delayed activation of zeolite heating
    Patent number: 8138111
    Abstract: The invention relates to zeolite particles which are at least partially coated with a coating that is capable of delaying the release of heat from the zeolite particles upon contact with water over time. The coating effectively at least partially blocks the pore structure of the zeolite particle from contact with water, thereby delaying contact between water and the zeolite, and prolonging the warming effect caused by such contact.
