  • Publication number: 20210163858
    Abstract: The invention relates to a purge composition comprising a polymer formulation which is tacky and suitable to cross-link and/or cure to become less tacky, at least 50% of solids of the polymer formulation comprising a polysiloxane, polyurethane, acrylate resin, epoxy resin, melamine resin, formaldehyde resin, or a mixture of two or more of any of these; and a curing catalyst suitable to cure the polymer formulation, wherein the composition is suitable to cross-link and/or cure at within 0.1 to 120 minutes at a temperature in a range of from 0 to 450° C. within a device into which the composition is injected. The invention also relates to a method of cleaning a material processing device.

  • Patent number: 7837892
    Abstract: Rubber compound containing at least one nanoscale, magnetic filler and at least one non-magnetic filler. Vulcanizable mixture containing the rubber compound and at least one crosslinking agent and/or vulcanization accelerator. Molding obtainable from the vulcanizable mixture by heat treatment or action of an electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic alternating field.

  • Patent number: 7537834
    Abstract: A particle composite including carrier particles having an average diameter of less than 5 ?m. The particle composite is surrounded by a layer made of oxidic material having an irregular surface. Particles, which are made of an active material and which have an average diameter of less than 1 ?m are applied to the layer. The particle composite can be used as a filling substance in polymers and enables the content of active material for comparable properties to be reduced or improves the properties of filled materials, e.g. resistance to aging of elastomers.

  • Publication number: 20080014438
    Abstract: A composition including a) rubber, b) crosslinking agent, c) metals and/or chalcogenides of metals as crosslinking aids and/or antiaging agents is described, wherein at least one of components b) or c) is in the form of composite particles composed of carrier particles to whose surface particles of the active material having an average diameter of less than 25 ?m are applied and layers thereof having an average layer thickness of less than 25 ?m and/or conglomerates of multiple carrier particles to whose surface particles of active material having an average diameter of less than 25 ?m are applied or layers thereof having an average layer thickness of less than 25 ?m and d) optionally other conventional additives. The composite particles make it possible to lower the active material content while achieving comparable properties or improving the aging resistance of elastomers and/or increasing productivity.

  • Publication number: 20070259196
    Abstract: A sheet consisting of a carrier medium, where at least one antimicrobial substance is incorporated into the carrier medium, is, in view of the task of specifying a sheet that exhibits high reactivity of the antimicrobial substance, characterized by the fact that the substance is in colloidal and/or nanoscale form. Moreover, the sheet is characterized by the fact that the substance is contained in a layer that is at least area wise interrupted or consists of unconnected partial layers. Moreover, a use of the sheet as a cleaning article or in a cleaning article is described.

  • Patent number: 7018223
    Abstract: A connecting device includes first and second housing parts which are rotatable relative to one another and are coupled together to define a space therebetween. At least one flexible cable is provided in the space defined by the housing parts. Each cable includes first and second end sections which are configured to be rolled and unrolled in a spiral or helix on associated contact surfaces of the housing parts, respectively. The end sections normally extend in opposite directions from each other circumferentially around the housing parts so that a U-shaped turning area at which cable movement reverses is formed in the space defined by the housing parts. Magnetic areas are arranged on at least one of each cable, the first housing part, and the second housing part to cause the end sections of each cable to removably adhere to the respective contact surfaces of the housing parts.

  • Patent number: 5423665
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing filaments from meltable material utilizing centrifugal force includes a hollow body (2) rotating at high speed, whose bottom (5) the meltable material strikes from above in the solid state. The wall of the hollow body, shaped as a cylindrical casing, is formed by a heating device (4) which includes metal elements running in a rectangular and helical fashion, such that the interstices of the helix form the discharge openings for the molten material.
