Abstract: In order to provide an improved powder coating process using gelatin particles for the production of coatings or shaped bodies based on gelatin, it is proposed that the gelatin particles are produced by drying an aqueous gelatin solution, wherein the gelatin does not pass through a gel state before or during the drying.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a coated detergent composition and a process of manufacturing thereof. More in detail the present invention refers to a coated detergent tablet wherein the coating is applied to the tablet by bringing a powder coating material in direct contact with the tablet and thereafter equalizing the powder particles in a way that a homogenous “fused” coating (film) layer is obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ceramic surface in a casting tool, particularly a surface located outside the contouring region, which is exposed to a liquid or free-flowing aluminum material, wherein on at least one ceramic surface a layer is present consisting of an infiltration layer, diffused into the ceramic surface, structural parts in the form of Al2O3 and/or SiO2 and/or ZrO2 and/or TiO2 and a polymer of one or more polymerized phosphates and at least in sections enclosing the primary parts, the structural parts, and the sliding parts. Moreover, the invention relates to a parting agent and a method for preparing a layer of this type.

Abstract: A concentrate for producing a cooling and release agent for reusable casting dies such as a steel casting die, or a cooling and lubricating agent for machining with an active substance dissolved in water. The concentrate comprises 10 to 50 wt.-% of a protein based on the weight of the concentrate.

Abstract: In order to provide a non-woven fiber fabric, in particular, in the form of a flat material or as part of a flat material which can be used as a biodegradable material in medicine, in particular, as an implant or carrier material for living cells (tissue engineering) but also a non-woven fiber fabric which can be used in food technology in a variety of applications, in particular, as a preliminary product for foods, a non-woven fiber fabric is provided containing fibers consisting of a gelatin material, wherein the thickness of the fibers is on average 1 to 500 ?m and wherein the non-woven fiber fabric has a plurality of areas, at which two or more fibers merge into one another without any phase boundary.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a nerve guide that allows the axons to develop fairly freely during regeneration. For this purpose, the nerve guide is produced based on a shaped body from a cross-linked, resorbable, gelatin-based material. The shaped body is a tubular hollow body having a wall with an exterior surface and an interior surface, which wall defines a lumen. The nerve guide comprises a semipermeable layer surrounding the lumen.

Abstract: In order to provide a composition for the treatment of degenerative joint diseases with an improved efficacy, it is proposed that the composition comprises collagen hydrolysate and rosehip powder and/or extract, wherein the weight ratio of collagen hydrolysate to rosehip powder and/or extract, in each case in relation to dry mass, lies in the range of approximately 2:1 to approximately 100:1.

Abstract: In order to provide a vascular stent, with which the risk of restenosis is reduced without having to use anti-proliferative active substances, there is proposed a carrier of a dimensionally stable material, as well as one or more layers, which are disposed at least in sections on the carrier, of a material based on crosslinked gelatin that is resorbable under physiological conditions, wherein the adhesion between the carrier and the layer and/or between individual layers can be neutralised.

Abstract: A flux for application on and for reduction of oxide layers on a metal surface. The flux includes potassium fluoride, sodium fluoride, remaining moieties of water and gelatin. The can also include a reactant comprising moieties of at least one of the compositions of zirconium fluoride, lithium fluoride, sodium fluoride, potassium cryolite and potassium aluminum fluoride (KaAlF4), moieties of salts on the basis of at least one of the elements zirconium, lithium, potassium, sodium, bismuth boron and titanium and gelatin. The flux can be used in a method to reduce oxide layers on a metal surface by applying the flux onto the metal surface.

Abstract: In order to provide a product that is suitable as fat substitute in foods, which can be produced simply and inexpensively and is deemed safe from the nutritional physiology viewpoint and with which the typical texture of fat-containing foods can be simulated as favourably as possible, particles of collagen material are proposed which are substantially insoluble and swellable in water, wherein in swollen state the particles have an average diameter of less than approximately 150 ?m. A process for the production of this product is additionally proposed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the production of a quickly wettable material containing natural hydrocolloid in the form of a shaped body, in which a material containing natural hydrocolloid in the form of a shaped body is exposed to a plasma.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process to make a gelatine hydrolysate, a gelatine hydrolysate, and gelatine compositions including gelatine hydrolysates. More specifically, the invention provides gelatine compositions having a reduced tendency to cross-link and improved dissolution properties.

Abstract: In order to provide an improved powder coating process using gelatin particles for the production of coatings or shaped bodies based on gelatin, it is proposed that the gelatin particles are produced by drying an aqueous gelatin solution, wherein the gelatin does not pass through a gel state before or during the drying.
