  • Publication number: 20110049193
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5880181
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 5314639
    Abstract: The present application discloses a process for the production of agglomerates of peroxides that are solid at room temperature and which decompose rapidly when heated to their melting point. The process comprises agitating an aqueous suspension comprising a solid first peroxide which rapidly decomposes when heated to its melting point and a solid second peroxide which does not rapidly decompose when heated to its melting point and has a melting point which is substantially lower than the temperature at which said first peroxide rapidly decomposes, at a temperature sufficient to at least partially melt said second peroxide and below the decomposition temperature of said first peroxide to produce agglomerates comprised of said first and second peroxides; cooling with continued agitation the aqueous suspension having agglomerates to a temperature at which said second peroxide turns solid; and isolating the agglomerates.

  • Patent number: 4390451
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a concentrated aqueous composition of metal aldonate and/or ammonium aldonate. Part of the aldonate is dissolved and part of it is suspended in the water. Sodium gluconate is preferred. The present composition should contain a colloidally dispersed gum as suspending agent. Gums containing carboxyl groups such as xanthan gum are particularly well suited for making the suspension. In this manner, stable compositions having a high aldonate content are obtained. The composition can be used in cleansing preparations for glass and metal surfaces, in solution for etching aluminum, in galvanizing processes, in the tanning of leather, in paper making, in treatment of textiles, in paint removers, fixing baths in photography, and in agricultural and pharmaceutical preparations.
