Abstract: The invention relates to a corrosion-inhibiting material comprising a composite containing a metal oxide gel, where necessary modified by an organic polymer, and one or more corrosion inhibitors, and to a method for the production thereof. The corrosion-inhibiting composite material is used for producing corrosion-protective packaging material, for coating metallic and metallized articles as well as for corrosion protection in confined environments.

Abstract: The valve casing (12) houses an adjustment member (50) which is movable, in response to a pressure difference between the inlet (14) and the outlet (16) of the valve (10), from an inoperative position into a stop position in which the adjustment member (50) prevents the full opening of the valve. In this manner, when opening the valve (10), throttling which can be predetermined at random as compared to the fully open state takes place during a period of time while there still is a pressure difference between the inlet (14) and the outlet (16).

Abstract: A construction element of good thermal conductivity, designed for example as a facing for a heated or cooled floor or ceiling, comprises a board pressed from organic, mineralic and/or ceramic particles adhesively bonded together, with a metallic filler distributed therein. The filler may consist of powder, chips and/or filaments and may be supplemented by a metallic grid or foil embedded in or laminated to the board. One or more conduits for a heating or cooling fluid can pass through the board, preferably in a region of high filler density.
