Abstract: The invention is an aqueous composition for forming fireproof coatings and caulking. The composition is halogen, asbestos and antimony-free. The composition contains 5-20% by weight of a binder resin; 10-60% by weight of a particulate flameproofing agent; 0.2 to 27.5% by weight of non-asbestos inorganic fibers with an average length of 300 micron; 0.1 to 10% by weight of a plasticizer; and water.

Abstract: The invention relates to aqueous dispersions of alkaline earth metal soaps and/or alkaline earth metal resin soaps for deinking printed wastepaper in which the dispersions containA. alkaline earth metal salts of C.sub.6-22 carboxylic acids and/or resinic acids andB. C.sub.6.22 oxoalcohols alkoxylated with 2 to less than 6 mol C.sub.2-4 alkylene oxides and alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal alumimo silicates corresponding to general formula I0.7-1.5 cat.sub.2/n O.Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.0.8-6 SiO.sub.2in which cat represents alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal cations and n is the valency of the alkali metal and/or alkaline earth metal cations.

Abstract: A flotation process for the de-inking of printed waste-paper by treating the paper pulp in the pulper at alkaline pH-values by means of alkali silicate, oxidative bleaches and separating the loosened printing-ink particles from the fibrous material suspension by flotation, in which protein fatty acid condensates are added finely distributed, possibly together with dispersing agents, in a solution or dispersion which is fluid at normal temperature.

Abstract: Process for deinking printed waste paper by treatment of the paper pulp in a pulper at alkaline pH values using alkali silicate, oxidative bleaches, higher fatty and/or resinic acids and dispersants and separation of the detached printing ink particles from the fiber suspension by flotation, the fatty and/or resinic acids being used in the form of their alkaline earth metal salts in fine distribution together with dispersants in an oil-in-water dispersion which is liquid at normal temperature.
