Abstract
Abstract A process is provided whereby a liquid material may be added to a substantially dry carrier by mechanical mixing, and whereby the resultant mixture remains particulate and flowable. The carrier is treated to provide an expanded, substantially spherical structure capable of holding the desired level of liquid. Any liquid may be used so long as it does not dissolve the solid carrier. The liquid may be normally liquid at room temperature or may be a material that may be liquid at room temperature or may be a material that may be liquefied by mild heating.
