Abstract

A container for containing first and second components that are to be mixed with one another. The container includes a divider and a barrier mechanism. The divider isolates a first compartment containing the liquid component from a second compartment for containing the powder. A vacuum source is placed in fluid communication with the second compartment. The vacuum source is of sufficient size and pressure to cause the first component to be drawn through the second component to ensure thorough admixing of the first and second components after the integrity of the divider has been compromised. The barrier mechanism is disposed between the second compartment and the vacuum source and forms a barrier to resist infiltration of the first component but permit the passage of gas into the vacuum source. A method for forming a compound using the container of the present invention is also provided.
