  • Publication number: 20060039945
    Abstract: Volatile impregnated substrates, such as wicks and mats, that can be used in a dispensing device that uses a heat source or otherwise uses active means to promote the release of the volatile material from the substrate are disclosed. The preferred substrate has a structure including sand particles adhered together by a binder to form a network of pores and passages. The binder is selected from thermoset polymeric materials and mixtures thereof. A volatile material is disposed in the pores before the substrate is installed in the dispensing device. The impregnated substrate is positioned in the dispensing device on or near the heat source of the dispensing device. The heat source is activated thereby elevating the temperature of the substrate such that volatile material is released from the pores. In one embodiment, the sand particles comprise silica sand and the binder is a cured novolac resin.

  • Publication number: 20050232615
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are mats for dispensing volatile materials. A mat of the present invention includes a moat on an upper surface of the mat defining a first mat portion and a second mat portion, preferably connected at the bottom of the moat. Both portions are impregnated with the same or different volatiles. The moat is formed by pressing the upper wall of the mat with a hot forming die. While pressed against the upper wall, the hot die melts the mat material leading to the close of the pores in the material and as a result, a barrier along moat walls is formed. The moat and barrier act to prevent or reduce bleeding of the volatiles between two portions of the mat. The mat provides for both instant burst of volatile and then a sustained vaporization of volatile. Methods for making and using the mat are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20050127022
    Abstract: A pressure resistant plastic bottle for containing and dispensing an aerosol composition. The plastic bottle is designed to reduce deformation by a local reinforcement to the neck and shoulder regions. The reinforcement preferably comprises the provision of a wall thickness for a lower portion of the neck as compared to the wall thickness of the upper portion of the neck to be increased by a ratio of from about 1.25:1 to about 2.5:1.
