The valve has a body (1) with an external opening (24) for filtering and emptying a gas from a bottle (20). A piston is slidingly and tightly mounted inside the body to block and unblock an internal filtering opening (30). Another piston is movably mounted at an interior of the former piston to block and open an internal emptying opening (31). - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a bottle f...

The surface treatment procedure consists of applying a surfactant to the elastomer-based granules, which measure between 60 mcm and 50 mm in size, followed by an application of a polymer resin (16) before applying a hydraulic bonding agent. The surfactant and polymer resin can be applied at the same time, e.g. in the form of an aqueous solution, the granules being mixed with the solution so that t...
