Abstract: In a method of making a hardened sheet metal part, a blank is cut to form a region defined by at least one cutting edge having a cutting depth which is smaller than a material thickness of the blank. The blank is subjected to a hot forming step and at least in one area is allowed to harden. After the hot forming step, the region is pushed along the cutting edge.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a liquid cleaning composition comprising (i) at least one nonionic surfactant, (ii) at least one anionic surfactant, (iii) at least one non-aqueous solvent, and (iv) water, characterized in that the water content of the composition is below 10% by weight, and the composition is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In addition, water-soluble packages such as pouches or sachets, containing the liquid cleaning composition, are provided.

Abstract: The invention is a detergent mixture containing: (a) 10% to 30% by weight of protein fatty acid condensate; (b) 1 % to 12% by weight of a protein hydrolyzate; (c) 3% to 20% by weight of an acylated amino acid; (d) 1% to 12% by weight of an amino acid; and (e) 0% to 3% by weight of a preservative. In addition, the composition can optionally contain (f) 0.1% to 10% by weight of a neutralizing agent; (g) 0.1% to 15% by weight of sodium chloride, potassium chloride or mixtures of both; (h) 0.1% to 15% by weight of a solvent; and (i) water. The mixture is a soft detergent suitable for uses which are in contact with the skin, are high foaming and are not affected by hard water.
