Abstract: A waterborne lubricant, useful in the plastic working of metals, which imparts a lubricating behavior to the surface of metals in the absence of a conversion coating contains (A) water-soluble inorganic salt and (B) wax, wherein these components are dissolved or dispersed in water and the (B)/(A) solids weight ratio is 0.3 to 1.5. The (C) metal salt of a fatty acid can also be present at a (C)/(A) solids weight ratio of 0.01 to 0.4. The water-soluble inorganic salt (A) can be selected from the sulfates, silicates, borates, molybdates, and tungstates. The wax (B) can be a synthetic wax having a melting point of 70 to 150° C. A lubricating coating is formed by application to give a post-drying add-on of 0.5 to 40 g/m2. A method for using said lubricant is also provided.

Abstract: The reversible separation of bonded joints by applying alternating electromagnetic fields is described. The bonded joint consists of at least one primer layer which contains nanoscale particles which have ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic, superparamagnetic or piezoelectric properties. As a result of the alternating electromagnetic fields, large amounts of localised heat are produced in the primer layer of the bonded joint. This localised heat input causes, in the case of adjacent thermoplastic adhesive layers, softening of the thermoplastic binder. If thermoset adhesives are adjacent to the boundary layer of the primer, then the cross-linked structure in the binder matrix is broken up due to the high degree of localised warming. In both cases quasi-adhesive substrate separation with a low energy input is enabled as a result of the high localised warming of the boundary layer.

In order to construct the packaging, the folding blank is closed to form tubular shape. The folding blank also has at least one top tab (8) and at least one bottom tab (9).
