Abstract
A scented wafer having a body formed of a heat resistant fibrous material having a predetermined porosity resulting from a selected denier and length of fibers. A scented material is impregnated into the body material and is constructed to melt and release a scent when exposed to heat at a predetermined temperature for aromatherapy, insect repellant, wild life attractant, medicinal use, deodorant and odor control, perfume release, or any other desired or suitable purpose. The body material does not melt at the predetermined temperature.
Claims15
A scented wafer for emitting a scent to a surrounding open environment,
- said scented wafer being uncovered to present a large surface area for emission of scent to the surrounding open environment, and comprising a body material formed of a heat-resistant fibrous material having a predetermined porosity resulting from a selected denier and length of fibers;
- and
- a scented material impregnated into the body material and constructed to melt and release a scent when exposed to heat of a predetermined temperature that exceeds the temperature of the surrounding open environment and a melting point of the scented material;
- wherein the body material retains structural integrity and does not melt at the predetermined temperature to facilitate the reuse or replacement of the wafer, and
- the body is formed with numerous edges and grooves to create a large surface area for emission of the scented material when heated and melted.
