Abstract: Cyanuric chloride moldings, especially tablets and flakes, have advantages over powders in ease of handling. The moldings are produced by droplet or strip application of molten cyanuric chloride on to a surface and dissipation of the latent heat of fusion by cooling the surface or contacting the melt applied as droplets or strips with a cooling gas.

Abstract: A drying apparatus has a housing, a conveyor for displacing a flat workpiece horizontally in a travel direction through the housing on a level, and a horizontal array of horizontally elongated upper nozzle boxes lying generally in a plane above the level. Each box is formed with a plurality of downwardly directed nozzle holes and heated air is fed to the boxes so it is projected from the holes against the workpiece for drying same. Respective upper shield plates each formed with a plurality of apertures are slidable on the respective boxes between a position with the apertures aligned with at least some of the respective holes and a position with the apertures out of line with the respective holes. At least one pivotal rod extending along a rod axis in the direction has radially projecting arms each engaged with a respective one of the respective shield plates. The rod can be pivoted about the rod axis to shift all the shield plates between their positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to aqueous solutions of sodium salts of trimercapto-s-triazine whose molar saturation concentration at 0.degree. C. to 40.degree. C. is above the saturation concentration of trimercapto-s-triazine trisodium salt (TMT-Na.sub.3). More than two but less than three hydrogen atoms of the trimercapto-s-triazine are replaced by sodium ions. The solutions preferably contain trimercapto-s-triazine disodium salt (TMT-Na.sub.2) in addition to a little TMT-Na.sub.3.
