Abstract: A process for manufacturing a coated panel. The process can comprise providing a panel having at least an upper surface, a lower surface, and edges joining the upper surface and the lower surface. The panel can be arranged so that the lower surface is facing upwards, and first particles can be dispersed on the lower surface of the panel. The process can comprise turning the panel so that the upper surface is facing upwards, and applying first particles and second particles on the upper surface of the panel. A décor can be applied in the form of a printed pattern to the upper surface. The process can further comprise curing and/or melting the first particles to form a sealed upper surface whereby the surface forms a coating providing at least one property of abrasion resistance and scratch resistance on the surface.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a decorative surface element, which element comprises a base layer, a decor and a wear layer of a UV or electron beam curing lacquer. One or more structured surfaces, forming embossing surfaces of one or more rollers or moulds, are positioned on top of the decorative lacquered surface, possibly after having cured the lacquer to a desired viscosity, and are continuously or discontinuously pressed on to this. The lacquer will be provided with a surface structure which enhances the decorative effect of the decor. The wear layer is then completely cured.

Abstract: A process of the manufacturing of decorative boards with an abrasion resistant surface and edge with joining functionality, the process comprising the steps; a) Cutting a carrier board to the desired dimension and molding edges with joining functionality. b) Treating at least the upper surface of the board. c) Applying radiation curable dry acrylic lacquer powder by means of electrostatic spray nozzles. d) Heating the acrylic lacquer so that it melts. e) Curing the acrylic lacquer by means of radiation being selected from the group consisting of UV-radiation and electron beam radiation.

Abstract: A plastic pipe is made of a cross-linked polyolefin to be utilized in, but not limited to, potable water applications. Certain antioxidants and stabilizers are added to a process for producing the plastic pipe. The added antioxidants and stabilizers remain as key components in the final plastic pipes, providing superior long term stability and resistance to oxidative degradation, the latter being caused by but not limited to, chlorinated water environments. At least a primary stabilizer is used in the material.

Abstract: A cleaning method in a milking system (9) includes a plurality of teat cups (19), each of which is connected to a respective milk line. During milking of the teats of an animal, the plurality of teat cups (19) are attached to the teats of the animal, and vacuum is supplied to the respective milk lines in order to draw milk from the teats of the milking animal. The cleaning includes removing milk or other residues present at each of the plurality of teat cups by flushing (37) each of the plurality of teat cups with a cleaning fluid supplied via a supply line (36, 34c), evacuating cleaning fluid from each of the plurality of teat cups or from the supply line, and disinfecting at least one of the plurality of teat cups by exposing (60) the at least one of the plurality of teat cups to steam.
