Abstract: A recycling-friendly, easily producible paper packaging laminate with a high barrier against water vapor, oxygen and/or aromas, wherein a barrier film includes at least one substrate layer, a joining layer, and a barrier layer, wherein the joining layer is arranged between the substrate layer and the barrier layer, in that the substrate layer consists predominantly of polyethylene or polypropylene with a polyethylene content or a polypropylene content of at least 60 wt. % of the substrate layer, in that at least the at least one substrate layer of the barrier film is stretched, in that the content of the paper layer is between 50 wt. % and 90 wt. % of the paper packaging laminate, and in that the barrier film is joined to the paper layer by a hydrophilic adhesive layer, wherein the side of the paper layer facing the barrier film is uncoated.

Abstract: A nail for fixing a shoe to a hoof includes a head, and a shank extending from the head generally along a centerline and terminating in a tip. A reaction region is formed in the shank adjacent the tip and has a flattened profile having front and rear surfaces interconnected by respective edge surfaces. In the reaction region the front surface is convexly curved to incline the front surface relative to the centreline of tho shark The edge surfaces converge relative to each other towards the tip, whereby, on forcing the nail into the hoof, the reaction region is adapted to produce a resultant force on the nail. The resultant force is caused by engagement of the reaction with the hoof. The resultant force is adapted to predispose the nail to bend about the rear surface of the reaction region Also disclosed are processes for forming a horseshoe nail.
