Abstract: A storage box has a container with circumferential sidewall and upper rim. A cover is removably connected to the container. The cover, when placed in a closure position on the container, is resting on the rim. In the closure position, the cover is positioned on the container in a sealing position or in a closing position. The sidewall has a sidewall section with venting openings. The cover has a cover wall extending downward into the container interior. The cover wall is positioned where the sidewall section is located in the closure position. The cover wall is resting seal-tightly on an inner wall of the sidewall in the sealing position of the cover. The cover has venting passages. In the closing position of the cover, the venting passages extend from the container interior to the sidewall and open into the venting openings without the cover wall covering the venting openings.

Abstract: A method reduces the needed input of resin during an impregnation of decorative papers. As a result of the application of an aliphatic anionic polyurethane dispersion containing polycarbonate following printing, the quantity of resin absorbed in the impregnation is reduced by the capillary action of the paper fibers. At the same time, the light fastness of the printed or unprinted decorative papers is increased. The level of gloss of the pressed paper following application to a paper printed with metal effect ink is enhanced. The tear resistance of a decorative paper is improved and the growth during the impregnation is reduced considerably.
