Abstract: A process for manufacturing latex-, PVC- and plasticizer-free textile or plastic floor or wall coverings, which contain a foamed layer, in which a powder mixture containing:(1) 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic polymer;(2) 0-100 parts by weight of fillers;(3) 0.5-7 parts by weight of blowing agents; and(4) 0-30 parts by weight of additives;is scattered onto a backing layer, melted at a temperature within the range of from about 70.degree. to about 110.degree. C. smoothed between smoothing rolls and foamed at a temperature within the range of from about 120.degree. to about 200.degree. C.

Abstract: A freely flowable pancreatin of high amylolytic, lipolytic, and proteolytic activity, of a low germ content and substantially free of pathogenic germs and fibrous tissue material, of a high bulk weight between about 500 g./liter and about 700 g./liter and a very fine particulate size is produced according to the continuous process of extracting finely comminuted pancreas glands with a mixture of chlorinated hydrocarbons and fluoro-chloro-carbons and, if required, water, separating the fat-containing solvent phase, and recovering pancreatin from the enzyme phase.
