Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for monitoring the dispersibility of solid formulations. The single-measurement method involves measuring the course of the dispersibility of a sample in a fluid over time. The build-up measurement method involves detecting hard particles in a dispersion. The device according to the invention is equipped with a pump, a flow meter, a charging receptacle for the sample, and a filter element, all of which are connected to each other via a fluid circuit, wherein the filter element is arranged downstream behind the charging receptacle with respect to the direction of flow as predetermined by the pump.

Abstract: A device for the contamination-free conveying of powders which has a movable cone arranged within a discharge hopper, which, when in an open position, forms an annular gap between itself and the wall of the hopper. The amount of powder which is discharged through the annular gap is controlled by the amount of time the cone remains in the open position. The powder which is discharged from the hopper is supplied to a liquid jet pump, and is conveyed by the liquid jet formed by the liquid jet pump to a dispersing or dissolving tank.

Abstract: A new process for preventing the crystallization of certain azole derivatives in the spray equipment upon spraying mixtures containingA) certain azole derivatives which have a tendency to crystallize andB) if appropriate one or more other active compounds and additives,which process comprises adding at least one phosphoric ester of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents alkyl having 2 to 18 carbon atoms andR.sup.2 and R.sup.3 independently of one another represent alkyl having 2 to 12 carbon atoms,to the spray mixture before spraying.

Abstract: In the spraying of an aqueous liquor comprising at least one of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)-pentan-3-ol and 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-butan-2-ol, the improvement which comprises including in the liquor an N-alkyl-lactam of the formula ##STR1## in which R represents alkyl having 8 to 18 carbon atoms andn represents the numbers 3, 4 or 5,

Abstract: Crystallization of active material in spraying of an aqueous solution of certain specified fungicides is retarded by incorporation therein of an N-alkyl-lactam of the formula ##STR1## in which R represents alkyl having 6 to 18 carbon atoms andn represents the numbers 3, 4 or 5.

Abstract: Crystallization of active material in spraying an aqueous solution of one of ##STR1## and is prevented by incorporation therein of an alkylcarboxylic acid dimethylamide of the formula ##STR2## in which R represents alkyl having 5 to 19 carbon atoms.

Abstract: In the spraying of an aqueous liquor comprising at least one of 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-methyl)-pentan-3-ol and 1-(4-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethyl-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-butan-2-ol, the improvement which comprises including in the liquor di-styryl-phenyl-tri-glycol ether, whereby crystallization of II and III is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polycarbonate articles and films characterized by their antistatic properties comprising polycarbonate resin and alkali, or alkali earth, salts of specific aromatic sulfonic acids, specific aromatic phosphonic acids or aromatic partial phosphoric acid esters.
