Abstract: New spray powder formulations are described which, after application in the form of a thin layer to substrate surfaces with the aid of processes basset on electrostatic attraction and storing of this layer by heat or high-energy radiation, allow the deposition of firmly adhering layers of metal by currentless, wet-chemical metallization. The essential constituents of such a formulation are a pulverulent, non-conductive material and (semi-) noble metal compounds.

Abstract: Formulations which contain a water-dispersible polymer, a metallization catalyst, if appropriate fillers, if appropriate other constituents and water are outstandingly suitable for the pretreatment of various substrate surfaces for the purpose of subsequent metallization in a currentless metallization bath.

Abstract: Formulations containing an organometallic activator, a filler, a solvent and an aqueous dispersion of a polyurethane polymer are outstandingly suitable for activation of surfaces of plastics for currentless metallisation thereof.The components of plastic activated in this way are preferably employed, after metallisation has been carried out, for shielding from electromagnetic waves.

Abstract: Formulations containing an organometallic activator, a filler, a special mixture of organic solvents and a PU elastomer are eminently suitable for activating plastic surfaces for their electroless metallization avoiding stress-corrosion cracking.The plastic parts so activated are preferably used for screening from electromagnetic waves after metallization has been carried out.

Abstract: Hydrogen sulphide is removed (for example from drilling muds) using porous iron oxides which consist to the extent of at least 80% by weight of Fe.sub.3 O.sub.4 and in which at least 10% of their pore volume is in the form of pores of diameters in the range from 2000 to 6000 .ANG..

Abstract: Hydrogen sulphide is removed using transition metal carboxylates.

Abstract: A shielding device consists of a contact spring (1) having a triangular profile which is open at one triangular point. With the free legs (2, 3) the contact spring (1) is slipped over the edge of a housing member (10), such as a door, side wall, or the like. Following the closure or the assembly, one of the legs (2,3) is applied to the other housing member (12) forming a gap with the first member (10), which gap is to be conductively bridged.
