Abstract
This invention relates to a containerization system and to containers which are particularly suitable for storing, packaging and transporting toxic or hazardous products, such as agricultural chemicals. The containerization system comprises the chemical in the form of a gel which is contained within a water-soluble or water-dispersible bag.
Claims53
A containerization system for holding and securing hazardous chemical compounds which comprises a water soluble or water dispersible bag which completely encloses a water soluble or water dispersible gel, said gel comprising an hazardous chemical compound, wherein said gel possesses non-flowability characteristics to substantially prevent persistent flow or leakage of the hazardous chemical compound from the bag in the event the bag develops pinholes.
A self-dispensing containerization system for hazardous chemical compounds that are used in aqueous compositions, said system comprising a water-soluble or water-dispersible bag which encloses a water soluble or water dispersible gel of substantially organic material comprising an active hazardous chemical compound and other gel ingredients where the gel has a viscosity of between about 1,000 and 30,000 centipoise, the density of the bag with the gel contained therein is greater than 1 and the bag and gel are sufficiently water dispersible so that they are substantially completely dispersed in agitated water within 15 minutes.
A containerization system for holding and securing hazardous chemical compounds which comprises a water soluble or water dispersible bag which completely encloses a water soluble or water dispersible gel, said gel comprising a hazardous chemical compound, and said gel having a phase difference L between the controlled shear stress and the resulting shear strain such that tgL, the tangent of the L angle of phase difference, is less than of equal to 1.5.
A containerization system for holding and securing hazardous chemical compounds which comprises a water soluble or water dispersible bag which completely enclose a water soluble or water dispersible gel comprising an hazardous chemical compound, said gel having a viscosity of between about 1,000 and 5,000 centipoise.
A containerization system for holding and securing hazardous chemical compounds which comprises a water or water dispersible bag which completely encloses a water soluble or water dispersible gel, said gel comprising a hazardous chemical compound, and said gel having a viscosity above 500 centipoise and less than 50,000 centipoise
