Salem, Oregon Patent of the Year – 2024/2025
General Chemical Company has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for chemical dispersion innovation. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 8535757, titled ‘Method for dispersing a chemical agent’, improves how liquid chemicals are delivered in large-scale environments.
This method enables the safe, efficient dispersion of chemical agents using a solid carrier and a controlled water-based activation system. It offers better coverage and precise timing during application.
The system reduces risk during transport and storage by using solid or semi-solid forms that only activate when mixed with water. This reduces spills and environmental exposure.
The innovation is especially useful in agriculture, sanitation, and emergency response. It ensures that the chemical agent reaches its target area only when intended, improving safety and effectiveness.
General Chemical Company’s breakthrough supports cleaner handling practices and helps industries cut waste. It also enhances worker protection and environmental responsibility.
