Publication number: 20110049193Abstract: A device for dispensing a fluid comprises a sealed container for the fluid, a carrier for a cartridge with pressurized propellant gas, pressure reducing means, a dip tube for transporting fluid upward out of the container under the influence of the propellant, which dip tube connects to a dispensing channel via a first valve, which can be opened from outside for the purpose of pressing fluid, with the overpressure from the propellant, to the outlet of a dispensing channel, and there dispensing it. A second valve is present between the pressure reducing means and the container for allowing passage of propellant gas to the container in the opened position. An operating handle serves to operate the valve unit, wherein there are three stable positions, i.e. a rest position in which both valves are closed, a standby position in which the first valve is closed and the second valve is opened, and an operative position in which both valves are opened.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2007Publication date: March 3, 2011Inventors: Wouter Felix Muller Kubold, Martijn Reinder Torenbeek, Jeroen Hermanus Johannes Wijlens

Patent number: 5880181Abstract: The present invention relates to a gel comprising A) a solution of at least one organic peroxide essentially solubilized in a phlegmatizer, B) at least one cellulose ester as thickening agent essentially solubilized in solution A, and C) at least one thixotropic agent selected from hydrogenated castor oil and fumed silica. These gels offer the advantages of essentially no phase segregation during storage, essentially no formation of solid crystals during storage, and easy metering into thermoset resins because of their thixotropic behavior. Furthermore, these gels may be transparent, with the advantage that brightly colored gels may be prepared therefrom.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 1996Date of Patent: March 9, 1999Assignee: Akzo Nobel NVInventors: Reinder Torenbeek, Jacobus Johannes Antonius Eijmans
