Abstract:
Two specific types of ingredients are added to cold or hot melt asphalt or coal tar for the dual purposes of holding, reducing or complexing the obnoxious and toxic odors from asphalt while at the same time allowing a pleasant masking fragrance to predominate. The holding agents consist of various organic compounds which can bond or complex with and effectively hold onto other molecules. Typical complexing agents include dialkylgylcol alkyl ethers and dialkylphthalates. Typical fragrances include natural and synthetic oils or extracts such as lemon oil, orange oil, peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon, bubble gum and most other common fragrances. The concentrated extracts of fragrances consist of natural and synthetic materials having glycols, glycol ethers, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, and other compounds which can simply mask the obnoxious odors.
Abstract:
A system and method is claimed for dispensing scent into a consumable material. The system involves bottling a volume of consumable material and sealing the bottle with a cap assembly. The cap assembly can have many different configurations. However, regardless of its configuration, the cap assembly includes at least one section of scented plastic that is left exposed to the contents of the bottle after the bottle is sealed with the cap assembly. The scented plastic contains a scented compound. As the scented plastic is left exposed to the contents of the bottle, scent from the scented compound leaches out of the plastic in into the consumable material. As such, the liquid passively acquires the scent of the scented plastic.
