Container for anaerobic products
First Claim
1. In combination, a flexible container and a volume of an anaerobic adhesive product within said container, said container having a length, a width, a height, a predetermined volume, and at least one wall defining a cavity which accommodates said anaerobic adhesive product, the at least one wall being made of deformable, oxygen permeable material, such that the flexible container is sufficiently oxygen permeable to thereby maintain the anaerobic product in an uncured state and sufficiently flexible to substantially conform to the shape of at least one further container into which it may be placed, wherein a dimension of said flexible container is selected from the group consisting of said length, said width, and said height, and said dimension is a restricted size of not exceeding about 8 cm, said restricted size being calculable from said predetermined volume in cubic centimeters according to the formula:

Abstract
A container is described which is suitable for use with anaerobic products such as sealants and adhesives which cure, set-up or polymerise in the absence of air. The container is flexible having at least one wall made of a deformable, oxygen permeable material, which defines a cavity for receiving and retaining the anaerobic product. The wall may be made of polyethylene or polypropylene.

8. A pack comprising:
(a) a flexible container having a predetermined volume, comprising at least one wall defining a cavity which accommodates an anaerobic adhesive product, the wall being made of a deformable, oxygen permeable material consisting essentially of a material selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene or polyethylene/polypropylene having a permeability to oxygen of 25 cm3/m2-day-bar or greater, such that the flexible container is sufficiently oxygen permeable to maintain the anaerobic product in an uncured state and sufficiently flexible to substantially conform to a shape of a further container into which it may be placed, wherein at least one of a length, a width, and a height of the flexible container is a restricted size not exceeding about 8 cm, the restricted size being calculable for said predetermined volume in centimeters according to the formula;
