Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a semi-hermetic applicator for distributing a substance onto a target surface and, more particularly, to such a applicator which contains a substance to be applied to the surface of a target object. Background technique [0002] In the field of coatings, articles have been developed which are coated or impregnated with useful substances. These substances can be applied while the article is in contact with the target surface. While the presence of these substances on or near the surface of these articles has certain advantages, there is often the problem that the useful substances cannot be protected and inadvertent contact can occur prior to use. Inadvertent contact can result in contamination of the substances such that the substances are wasted on non-intended surfaces and / or the substances contaminate non-intended surfaces. Furthermore, the use of these articles to manually apply a substan...
