<p>The present invention relates to an applicator (100) for flowable materials which comprises a generally cylindrical housing (2) having a chamber, a discharge opening, a wick (12) projecting through said discharge opening, and a projecting structure (6) for shielding the user from flowable materials and for preventing placement of the applicator (100) in inappropriate receptacles. Further, the present invention relates to a storage and shipping rack for said applicators and to a method of dispensing flowable materials onto a surface. Preferably, the applicator (100) is filled with metal coating and treating compositions such as aqueous acidic chromate compositions. Most preferably, the acidic compositions contain a very low concentration of a fluorinated surfactant.</p> |
