Abstract: A recyclable multilayer synthetic foam container that does not wick, for direct and non-direct food contact and aseptic packaging application is disclosed. In one aspect, a container comprises a pre-creased and/or folded multilayer synthetic foam sheet comprising at least one foam layer, that can be hermetically sealed along the edges, wherein the synthetic board sheet is a recyclable material that does not wick. In another aspect, the product has a bending stiffness value greater than 17 in Taber stiffness unit configuration according to TAPPI/ANSI T 489 om-15. In some embodiments, the product can have an oxygen transmission rate of less than 20 cc/m2/24 hr, according to ASTM D3985. In some embodiments, the product can have a water vapor transmission rate of less than 10 gr/m2/24 hr, according to ASTM E398-13.

Abstract: A topically-applied concoction of prebiotics and probiotics to treat dysbiosis in the skin microbiome of pets and other animals, which includes pet grooming products such as shampoo, conditioner, shampoo & conditioner, leave-in conditioner & detangler, deodorizing spray, or fragrance spray. A related method of treating dysbiosis using a concoction of prebiotics and probiotics is also described. Following up with other topical solutions such as conditioner, deodorizers, sprays that also contain prebiotics and probiotics can be part of the dysbiosis treatment program.

Abstract: There is provided a process for the de-enrichment of enantiomerically enriched compositions which comprises reacting an enantiomerically enriched composition comprising at least a first enantiomer or diastereomer of a substrate comprising a carbon-heteroatom bond, wherein the carbon is a chiral centre and the heteroatom is a group V heteroatom, in the presence of a catalyst system and optionally a reaction promoter to give a product composition comprising first and second enantiomers or diastereomers of the substrate having a carbon-heteroatom bond, the ratio of second to first enantiomer or diastereomer in the product composition being greater than the ratio of second to first enantiomer or diastereomer in the enantiomerically enriched composition.

Abstract: A system for the freeze processing of materials includes two spaced units, each including a plurality of channels. A refrigeration system intercouples the two units so that heat extracted from material as it is being frozen in one unit is employed to thaw frozen material in the other unit. Separately movable harvest assemblies including squeegee-like members are provided to advance treated material out of the channels. The harvest assemblies may include spray nozzles for cleaning the channels.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pigment composition comprising a diarylide pigment, a monoprimary amine, a diprimary amine and an inorganic compound having active oxide or hydroxide surfaces.

Abstract: Process for the production of a flocculation-resistant pigment, comprising after-treating an arylamide pigment which has been subjected to a dyestuff treatment, the after-treatment comprising a further treatment of the dyestuff-treated arylamide pigment with an arylamide yellow dyestuff, under alkaline conditions at elevated temperature.

Abstract: A process for producing a pigment or dyestuff composition in the form of dustless readily dispersible granules, which process comprises contacting, with agitation, an aqueous dispersion of a pigment and a composition comprising one or more organic acids which are liquid at temperatures below 100.degree. C. or their salts, at a pH value at which the acid is insoluble in water, the temperature being maintained during contacting above the melting point of the acid until the pigment has completely transferred into the organic phase; increasing the pH to a value suitable to render the acid soluble in water and recovering the resulting granules.

Abstract: A process for the production of a pigment composition in bead form which comprises contacting with agitation, in the presence of an aqueous protective colloid, 1 part of a water insoluble carrier melting below 100.degree. C. and an aqueous dispersion containing 0.25-2,3 parts of a pigment or water insoluble dyestuff at a temperature above the melting point of the carrier and allowing the aqueous phase to become substantially free of pigment or water insoluble dyestuff by its association with the carrier and recovering the resulting pigmented beads which are easily dispersible in polymeric compounds to yield even colorations.
