Abstract
An improved valve member, aerosol dispenser valve containing the valve member, aerosol container for dispensing moisture curable foams, and moisture curable foam and dispenser, in which the valve member is made of a glass filled polyolefin.

Claims15
An aerosol can for dispensing a moisture-curable foam comprising:
- an aerosol can;
- a moisture-curable foam disposed within the aerosol can;
- and
- a valve comprising:
- a seal;
- and
- a valve member, the valve member being constructed to resist adherence of cured moisture-curable foam to the valve member, the valve member comprising a central passage extending partially therethrough, and a plurality of openings extending through the valve member and in communication with the central passage, the valve member being adapted for movement upon actuation between a first position in which the valve member is deflected off of the seal to allow the moisture-curable foam to flow into the central passage, and a second position in which the valve member seats on the seal to prevent flow of the moisture-curable foam into the central passage, the valve member being comprised of a glass filled polyolefin and being more resistant to adhesion to the cured moisture curable foam than the same valve member having no glass content.
