Abstract:
1. A method of activating and dispensing a composition, the composition comprising: solid particles comprising a first polymer; and a liquid carrier into which the solid particles are emulsified, dispersed and/or suspended; wherein: the composition is a pumpable material at temperatures of from about 32° F. to about 140° F.; the composition forms a substantially homogeneous, molten blend when energy activated at a processing temperature in excess of 140° F.; the substantially homogenous molten blend becomes a fused solid material when it cools to a temperature below 140° F.; the fused solid material is capable of bonding one or more substrates at a point of application; the method comprising the steps of: a.) feeding said composition from a reservoir to a a pressurized supply source; b.) passing said composition from said pressurized supply source into a vessel; c.) passing said composition from said vessel through an insulator device, wherein said insulator prevents heat from traversing backward into the supply source, and into a reactor; d.) activating said composition within said reactor; e.) passing said composition from said reactor into a dispensing unit and; f.) dispensing the composition,
