Abstract: The present invention relates to antiperspirant composition, particularly to antiperspirant composition having high levels of oil. The present inventors have found that when compositions having an unsaturated oil such as sunflower seed oil is present in the antiperspirant composition together with high total oil content present in the composition, the fabric which comes in contact with the composition in the axilla tends to get stained on repeated use. The present inventors have found that the problem of staining or yellowing of fabrics is significantly lowered when a combination of an alkoxylated aliphatic ether with an alkyl chain length of C3 to C10 and specific polyethylene glycol diester of fatty acid with chain length of C12 to C18 is used in an antiperspirant composition having high total oil content including unsaturated oil and an antiperspirant active.

Abstract: A method of printing an internal bridge in a three-dimensional object includes depositing a plurality of drops of a printing material in a first direction to form a supported stepout onto an edge of a bridging layer, depositing a plurality of drops of the printing material to form an anchor layer adjacent to and in contact with a supported stepout, and depositing a plurality of drops of the printing material to form an unsupported stepout adjacent to an in contact with the supported stepout. A printing system for three-dimensional objects is also described, which is configured to perform the method of printing an internal bridge in a three-dimensional object.

Abstract: A method for producing a biaxially oriented tube from thermoplastic material, wherein a tube in preform condition is extruded from thermoplastic material and is subjected to a temperature conditioning. Use is made of an expansion device and of a drawing device which is arranged downstream of the expansion device. The expansion device includes a non-deformable expansion part and a run-on part located upstream of the expansion part and having an upstream sealing member. The expansion device further includes a first gas discharge duct having one or more first inlet ports in the exterior surface of the expansion device, a first inlet port being open or closed or partly closed dependent on whether or not the first inlet port is covered and closed, or partly closed, by the tube.
