  • Publication number: 20200248110
    Abstract: A solid, particulate composition having at least one water-soluble carrier material and at least one fragrance, wherein the carrier material is a water-containing salt (hydrate) whose water vapour partial pressure at a specific temperature in the range from 30 to 100° C. corresponds to the H2O partial pressure of the saturated solution of this salt, such that the salt melts at this temperature in its own crystal water. The composition is characterized in that it has a distinctly improved water solubility compared to known polyethylene glycol-based compositions. The invention further relates to methods for producing the solid composition, and to a washing or cleaning product including the solid composition. In addition, the invention relates to the use of a washing or cleaning product for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces, and corresponding methods for cleaning textiles or hard surfaces using a washing or cleaning product of this kind.

  • Publication number: 20190262935
    Abstract: A set of fittings for an FSW tool (friction-stir-welding tool) includes an adapter that can be inserted into a tool-receiving element and is designed to receive a welding rod, and a shoulder cap that includes a through-opening for the welding rod and the adapter. The shoulder cap includes a welding shoulder region adjacent to the through-opening on the outer surface. The adapter can be rotated in relation to the shoulder cap, about a longitudinal axis extending concentrically to the through-opening. The inner contour of the through-opening and a radial outer contour of the adapter have a conical shape at least on the end facing the welding point. In this way, a conical annular gap is created between the adapter and the shoulder cap, the width of which is adjustable by positioning the adapter along the longitudinal axis.
