A humidity control system includes a cap including a retention element at an inner surface of the cap, the inner surface of the cap defining an interior volume of the cap, and a package in the interior volume of the cap, the package including a humidity control substance configured to control humidity and a retainer including a sealing interface to enclose the humidity control substance, the retainer being configured to engage the retention element. The package and the inner surface of the cap define a shielded volume.

Humidity control system

A humidity control system includes a two-way humidity control material, a plant extract, and a package housing the two-way humidity control material and the plant extract. A method of flavoring a product and controlling the humidity of an environment in a container includes inserting a humidity control system in the container and enclosing the product in the container. The humidity control system includes a two-way humidity control material, a plant extract, and a package housing the two-way humidity control material and the plant extract.

A humidity control system includes a humectant system including a humectant material including a viscous miscible glycerol and water mix and a humectant package.

A humidity control system includes a humectant material, an oxygen absorbing composition, and a package housing the humectant material and the oxygen absorbing composition.

A humidity indicating card includes a humidity indicator and a security device.

An apparatus and a continuous process produce composite structural insulated panels (SIPs). Lower boards are placed on a conveying system through a foam application zone and then upper boards are applied. The foam material adheres to the upper and lower boards to form a structural insulated panel after passing through a curing apparatus.

Continuous feed system for producing structural insulated panels

A thermosetting foam, preferably polyisocyanurate or polyurethane foam, is prepared in an extruder which permits the incorporation of high levels of filler particles. The method includes introducing polyol, isocyanate and filler particles to an extruder screw for mixing. In conjunction with extruding, a catalyst is added. The catalyst may be added either in a last extruder barrel or with the extruder head. Foam with filler particle content in excess of 12% made be readily made. Filler particles, such as aluminum trihydrate, perlite, carbon black, diatomaceous earth, polyiso powders, ammonium phosphate, fly ash, barium sulfate, calcium silicate, and calcium carbonate, may be used. The process described is preferably used for making foam boards or bunstock.

Extruded polymer foam with filler particles and method

A method for preparing a thermosetting foam, such as polyisocyanurate or polyurethane foam, includes introducing polyol and isocyanate to a screw of an extruder and mixing in the extruder screw. Catalyst is then added and mixed with the already formed mixture in the extruder screw. This mixture is extruded onto a conveyor and foamed on the conveyor. Finely divided carbon black, dispersing agent and/or surfactant may be mixed with polyol before introducing to the screw of the extruder or carbon black may be dispersed in polyol in the extruder and a polyol premix made before the remainder of the polyol is added. Foam cell size is decreased when extruder speed is increased. The foaming agent, which is preferably HCFC or water, may be mixed with one of the components, preferably the polyol, before introducing to the screw of the extruder. The mixture is cooled before extruding onto a conveyor to delay the foaming step until the mixture is outside the extruder. A carbon black dispersion may also be made, for future use. The process described may be used for making foam boards or bunstock.

Method for extruding foamable polymer material

A rigid polyisocyanurate foam suitable for holding stems of artificial flowers is a substantially closed cell foam having a density of about 1.7 to 2.9 lb./cu. ft. The foam is made by mixing components A and B in a ratio of B:A of about 0.2 to 0.6. Component B is a mixture of 100 parts by weight of polyester or polyether polyol, 0.5 to 5 parts by weight of potassium octoate, 4 to 10 parts by weight of water and 0 to 8 parts by weight of green colorant. Component B is mixed with 250 to 500 parts by weight of polymeric diphenyl methane diisocyanate (component A), and the resulting mixture is poured onto a substrate, which may be a conveyor or a mold box, for foaming in a substantially free rise step with a cream time of about 5 to 20 seconds. The conveyor is preferably heated to about 100.degree. to 150.degree. F. The foam is cured before cutting.
