Abstract
The invention provides a unique container combination comprised of a container equipped with a thermoset viscoelastomeric interfacing section which serves to confine items placed thereupon. The interfacing viscoelastomeric section may be chemically bonded to the container support or cohesively bonded thereto. The interfacing thermoset viscoelastomeric section adhesively immobilizes items placed thereupon while tenaciously clinging (chemically or adhesively) to the container supportive structure. Containers equipped with the thermoset viscoelastomeric section surprisingly create an aseptic environment especially adaptable to hygienic applications while also affording superior protection against impact damage.
Claims21
A storage container combination possessing sufficient adhesiveness to adhesively engage and contain an item placed thereupon, wherein the storage container combination comprises:
- A. a container having sufficient supportive structure to support an item placed thereupon;
- and
- B. a thermoset viscoelastomeric interfacing section positioned in an interfacing relationship to the supportive structure with said thermoset viscoelastomeric interfacing section comprising a thermoset reaction product of a thermosetting reaction media comprising about 10 to about 20 percent by weight polyether diol, about 25 to about 35 percent by weight polyether triol, about 4 to about 7 percent by weight of an diisocyanate based prepolymer, about 35 to less than 50 percent by weight of an epoxidized vegetable oil and a catalytic amount of a curing catalyst therefore.
A method for preparing a container combination comprising an aseptic surface and sufficient adhesiveness to retain a stored item placed thereupon, said method comprising:
- A. providing a container having a surface area of a sufficient structural support to support the item placed thereupon;
- B. placing a thermoset viscoelastomeric section in an interfacing relationship to the surface area with the thermoset viscoelastomeric section comprising a thermoset of a thermoset viscoelastomeric reaction media comprised of:
- a) about 10 to about 20 percent by weight polyether diol;
- b) about 25 to about 35 percent by weight polyether triol;
- c) about 4 to about 7 percent by weight di-isocyanate based prepolymer;
- and
- d) about 42 to less than 50 percent by weight of an epoxidized vegetable oil;
- and
- C. reacting the thermoset viscoelastomeric reaction media in the presence of a catalytic amount of a thermosetting catalyst.
