Patent ID: 8100179

Claim:
A process for delivering a mixture to a confined volume comprising: (a) forming a mixture of at least one polymerizable monomer and at least one inhibitor in a fluid; (b) transporting the mixture to a second location; (c) delivering at least a portion of the mixture to a localized volume at the second location; and (d) sealing the localized volume to produce a confined volume containing at least a portion of the mixture; wherein the polymerizable monomer polymerizes within the confined volume with a decrease in pressure within the confined volume and the polymerizable monomer and the inhibitor are present in the mixture in an amount determined from the following: (i) time elapsed between forming the mixture in step (a) and sealing the localized volume in step (d), (ii) a projected temperature conditions during transportation in step (b), and expected pressure change in the confined volume after sealing the mixture within the confined volume.
