A method of forming a desiccating part including the steps of: (a) blending a composition comprising: at least 60 wt % desiccant, up to 10 wt % wetting agent, up to 5 wt % processing aid, and 10-30 wt % thermosetting resin; (b) forming the composition blended in step (a) into a part or shape; and (c) heating the part or shape of step (b) to crosslink the resin. Also included is a desiccating part comprising at least 70 wt % desiccant and a thermosetting binder resin.

Thermoset desiccant product and method for making same

A self desiccating container with a living hinge includes a container body made from a resin bonded sorbent and at least one attachment feature, and a container closure having a closure portion engageable with the container body to close the body and an attachment feature compatible with the attachment feature on the container body for securing the closure to the body, and a living hinge connecting the closure portion to the attachment feature.

Method of molding a high moisture barrier and self-desiccating container with living hinge

A multi-functional resin bonded sorbent material including a blend of a resin, a sorbent and an electrically conductive material. The sorbent includes a plurality of sorbent particles uniformly dispersed within the resin so that each sorbent particle of the plurality of sorbent particles is fully surrounded by the resin and the electrically conductive material includes a plurality of conductive particles dispersed within the resin so that the plurality of conductive particles forms a conductive path.

Resin bonded sorbent

A method of selecting an appropriate resin bonded sorbent composition which may be used at least for in part making an enclosure to protect contents from external humidity including the steps of: a) selecting a plurality of resins, a plurality of sorbents and a plurality of ratios therebetween to form a plurality of composites; b) calculating a plurality of failure times for the plurality of composites, wherein each failure time of the plurality of failure times is based on when an internal relative humidity of each composite of the plurality of composites is equal to the maximum internal relative humidity; c) determining which of the plurality of failure times is greater; and, d) selecting one composite of the plurality of composites based on the result of step (c).

Adsorptive composite barriers for packaging applications

A hydrocarbon adsorber and a thermoplastic resin combined and formed to a porous scavenger for insertion into the air intake system of a motor vehicle engine. The resulting porous scavenger adsorbs volatile hydrocarbon molecules from raw fuel remaining in the air intake when the engine is shout off. The adsorbed molecules are then stripped or purged from the scavenger and reintroduced into the air intake when the engine is next started.

Hydrocarbon emission scavenger and method for making

A lamp assembly including at least one light source, a housing formed from a first moisture barrier composition and a sealing cap formed from a second moisture barrier composition, wherein the at least one light source is arranged within the housing and the sealing cap is hermetically bonded to the housing and the at least one light source, and the sealing cap is arranged to enclose the at least one light source within a volume formed by the housing and the sealing cap.

Method for selecting adsorptive composite barriers for packaging applications

The invention relates to improved resin bonded sorbent compositions and articles of manufacture fabricated therewith, such as housings, structural components and circuit boards. The introduction of sorbents into resinous molding compositions enables the elimination of more conventional bagged sorbent containments. The novel molding compositions of the invention and parts fabricated therewith are multi-functional, beneficially combining structural, mechanical and adsorptive capabilities without requiring the usual reinforcing additives. Consequently, with the omission of reinforcing additives the novel molding compositions of the invention are further characterized by higher adsorptive capacities by allowing for higher sorbent loading factors than prior adsorbent-containing molding compositions.

The resulting porous scavenger adsorbs volatile hydrocarbon molecules from raw fuel remaining in the air intake when the engine is shut off. The adsorbed molecules are then stripped or purged from the scavenger and reintroduced into the air intake when the engine is next started.
