Abstract: The present invention relates to a kit for improving food shelf life comprising a sheet-like element component and an alkaline component. The sheet-like element component comprises a particulate filler comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate, a binder and an oxygen scavenger. The oxygen scavenger is a compound comprising at least two phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can be deprotonated by the alkaline component, thus activating the oxygen scavenger. Further aspects of the present invention relate to an activated sheet-like element formed from the inventive kit, a process for the manufacture of a kit for improving shelf life, a process for the manufacture of a sheet-like element component, a process for activating the sheet-like element component, a supply device comprising the activated sheet-like element, a food packaging comprising the activated sheet-like element and the use of the kit or the activated sheet-like element in a food packaging and for prolonging food shelf life.

Abstract: An electrical drive unit has a housing having a metal pole housing, which accommodates a stator and a rotor, and a separately produced electronic housing which axially adjoins the pole housing and accommodates an electronic unit. At least one contact element is integrated inside the electronic housing and forms, via at least one ground pin, an electrically conductive connection between the electronic housing and the pole housing to establish a ground connection. An open flange and a cylindrical circumferential wall are formed on the pole housing, against which circumferential wall the at least one ground pin radially bears in a resilient manner, and the at least one ground pin has a side surface facing the circumferential wall, wherein a bearing contour is formed on the side surface and bears against the circumferential wall only in an approximately punctiform manner with respect to an axial direction and/or a circumferential direction.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an aqueous coating composition comprising 5 to 95 wt. % of an alkali-swellable core-shell addition polymer (I), and 95 to 5 wt. % of a polyurethane (II). The present invention provides an aqueous coating composition which may be used as base coat in a base coat/clear coat system which has good mechanical properties, a high flop, a high gloss, practically no strike-in, and a good water-resistance. Due to the fact that higher solids contents can be achieved with the aqueous coating composition of the present invention, a reduction in drying times and number of coats is obtained.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating composition comprising: (a) at least one oxazolidine functional compound, (b) at least one isocyanate functional compound, and (c) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a mercapto functional compound, a sulfonic acid functional compound, and mixtures thereof. The invention further relates to a method of coating a substrate with the coating composition and to a substrate coated with the coating composition.

Abstract: A press section in a machine for manufacturing a web of fibrous material, comprising a shoe press with extended press nip, the shoe press having a counter roll with a cylindrical press body; a press shoe with a concave surface for cooperation with the press body; an impermeable belt running through the press nip in sliding contact with the press shoe; a clothing running in a loop around guide rolls and through the press nip in contact with the web, and being capable of receiving and carrying liquid along with it; a movable heat transfer means for continuous transfer of heat to the web in the extended press nip; and a heat source for heating the heat transfer means. According to the invention the counter roll comprises a sleeve that forms the heat transfer means and encloses the press body. The invention also relates to a shoe press, a press section with a roll press, and treatment sections with roll and shoe calendars with sleeves of the type described.

Abstract: There is provided a brushing apparatus useful for cleaning of PC Cards, comprising at least one pair of coaxially arranged brushes. The brushes are rotated and the bristle surfaces of a pair of brushes face each other. The PC cards are fed in a plane between the opposing brushes. The pairs of brushes may be arranged in one or more rows. In the case of one row, the row may extend at an angle to the transport direction of the PC cards. In the case of two parallel rows, the pairs of brushes of one row may be displaced longitudinally half a brush diameter, relative to the pairs of brushes of the other row.
