Abstract: In a method for passivating the surface of a tinplate using electrolytic deposition of a passivation layer containing chromium oxide/chromium hydroxide on the surface, the electrolytic deposition of the passivation layer is carried out at least partly from an electrolyte solution which contains a trivalent chromium compound, at least one salt for increasing the conductivity and at least one acid or one base for adjusting a desired pH value and is free from organic complexing agents and free from buffering agents. In order to increase the amount of chromium oxide in the passivation layer, after the electrolytic deposition of the passivation layer, the passivated tinplate is subjected to a thermal treatment in which the passivated tinplate is kept at a treatment temperature of 100° C. or more for a treatment time of at least 0.5 seconds.

Abstract: A process for passivation of strip steel plate, having the following steps: electrochemical treatment of the black plate by passing the black plate through an electrolyte to form an inert steel surface; rinsing the black plate; and application of an aqueous chromium-free treatment solution to at least one surface of the black plate to form a conversion layer that protects against corrosion and an adhesion layer for paints and organic coating materials. The black plate treated in accordance with this process is characterized by high corrosion resistance and has good bonding capacity for paints and organic coatings and therefore is very suitable as a substitute for tin-free steel (TFS or ECCS) and tinplate for the production of packagings, in particular cans. In contrast to the traditional manufacturing and passivation processes for tin-free steel and tinplate, no chromium VI, which is environmentally hazardous and hazardous to health, is used in this process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a specimen slide in the form of a strip-shaped glass plate. To improve production and handling of the slide the glass plate is surrounded on all sides by a plastic frame.

Abstract: In a method of plasticizing polyvinyl chloride by adding a plasticizer to polyvinyl chloride, an improvement is provided wherein the plasticizer is a di-(cyclohexylethylmethylol) phthalate or a di-(ethylcyclohexylmethylol) phthalate of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is ethyl or hydrogen; R.sub.1 is methyl or hydrogen; and n is an integer of 0-2; and when n is 2, R is H and R.sub.1 is H; when n is 0, R is ethyl and R.sub.1 is H, and when n is 1, R.sub.1 is methyl and R is H; the two alcohol radicals being the same or different.

Abstract: Shaped or unshaped synthetic resins having about 0.01-5% by weight of stabilizers where the stabilizers are bisamides of quadratic acids having the general formulas I and/or II as follows: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, and R.sub.4, are identical or different, and represent(A) hydrogen, unsubstituted or substituted alkyl or alkenyl residues of 1-22 carbon atoms, one or more of which can also be substituted by hetero atoms;(B) unsubstituted or substituted cycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkylene residues;(C) unsubstituted or substituted aryl and arylalkylene residues;(D) 3- to 8-membered, unsubstituted or substituted rings which contain one or more hetero atoms and which can optionally be connected to the nitrogen atoms of Formulae I and II by way of alkylene groups;(E) furthermore the groups --NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 and/or --NR.sub.3 R.sub.4 represent 3- to 8-membered, unsubstituted or substituted rings which optionally contain additional hetero atoms; and(F) respectively R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 or R.sub.2 and R.

Abstract: A glass slide which has a matted area. This matted area is formed by a ground surface area of the slide, and this matted area as well as the remainder of the slide are perfectly free of any particles of glass. The matted area extends between an end edge of the slide and an edge which is perfectly parallel with the end edge.
