Abstract
An article for delivery of a chemical reactant includes a liquid or solvated chemical reactant pre-moistened into an applicator. A chemical reactant impervious package has a pouch adapted to enclose the applicator for storage. The chemical reactant delivery article is based on capillary action to wick the continuing supply of chemical reactant to the substrate contacting portion of the applicator and as such is operative independent of chemical reactant gravitational flow.
Claims11
An article for chemical reactant delivery comprising:
- a chemical reactant that satisfies at least one condition of being solvated or liquid under delivery conditions;
- an applicator pre-moistened with said chemical reactant;
- and
- a chemical reactant impervious package having a pouch adapted to enclose said applicator.
A process for applying an adhesive comprising the steps of:
- exposing a capillary action fed applicator pre-moistened with a solvated or liquid chemical reactant;
- contacting said applicator with a first substrate independent of a user contact of said applicator;
- applying a film of said chemical reactant to said first substrate;
- and
- bringing a second substrate into contact with the first substrate with a curable material and said chemical reactant therebetween.
The use of a selectively peelable or tearable package for applying a chemical reactant pre-moistened in an applicator.
