Abstract: The present description relates to a roller wash composition for the cleaning of the cylinder, polymer plate and other soiled parts of printing machines when using water-based printing inks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to surface-modified pigments based on platelet-shaped substrates, having improved settling and reagitation characteristics, and to their preparation processes and use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to surface-modified pigments based on flaky substrates having improved settling and redispersing characteristics and to the preparation and use thereof.

Abstract: An extensometer for use in a borehole comprises a combination of linear motion transducers located with daisy wheel anchors, which may be attached together if desired with extension bars. Linkages are used to connect the transducers to the daisy wheel anchors. The transducers are set up to measure distance changes both axially along the hole or radially. The extensometer includes at least one axially measuring transducer, and at least two radially measuring transducers. The transducers change in value according to changes in borehole dimensions; the transducer values are monitored electrically.
