The present invention provides a method and kit for the treatment of surfaces, such as the skin surface of a user, to impart hydrophobic characteristics upon the surface. The treatment of surfaces to impart hydrophobicity protects equipment, personnel, and animals from the effects of aqueous solutions such as water, toxic slurries, concrete, acids and bases.

A device for dispensing a bulk product such as cereals or condiments, including at the top a threaded nozzle for securing to the neck of a container and at the bottom a dispensing opening. A rotary shutter is provided, including a first portion provided with an actuating handle movable relative to a second portion, these two portions comprising respective walls and openings overlapping in a proportion that is dependent on the position of the handle.

The invention relates to a dispensing device for metering and dispensing a predetermined number of multiparticulates from a container. The dispensing device comprises a chamber which includes an inlet through which multiparticulates can enter the chamber and an overflow through which multiparticulates can leave the chamber. There is also an outlet through which multiparticulates can be dispensed from the chamber. The chamber comprises a metering surface which includes at least one retaining portion. The, or each, of the retaining portions is configured to be able to releasably retain a single multiparticulate.

A dry powder spray bottle includes a bottle body. The bottle body includes an outer bottle and an inner bottle, a piston and a one-way air inlet valve are sequentially arranged between the inner bottle and the outer bottle, a powder storage cavity is formed above the piston, and an airbag structure is formed between the one-way air inlet valve and the outer bottle. A rotating powder stirring mechanism is provided between the inner bottle and the outer bottle. A one-way valve is provided in the powder stirring mechanism, and when the head cap is pressed, the one-way valve opens, and gas in the airbag structure is delivered to the inner bottle through the one-way valve and sprayed out from the head cap together with dry powders, and a sealing mechanism which can close a powder outlet passage is provided between the head cap and the inner bottle.

A grain bin aeration system has inlet ducting in communication with the hollow interior of the storage bin adjacent a perimeter of the storage bin and exhaust ducting in communication with the hollow interior of the storage bin at a central location within the storage bin. A first portion of the inlet ducting is directed to the top end of the bin so that aeration flow therethrough is directed downwardly through the material in the storage bin to the exhaust ducting. A second portion of the inlet ducting is directed to the bottom end of the bin so that aeration flow therethrough is directed upwardly through the material in the storage bin to the exhaust ducting.
