Abstract: A nozzle for the discharge of a flowable substances, for example adhesive or sealing compositions, having a discharge orifice with a variable geometry. The adjustable nozzle permits the user to select the optimal discharge profile suited to a particular application of the composition being discharged.

Abstract: Solutions of non-functional thermoplastic polymers in preferably high-boiling dissolving agents/plasticizers are suitable as additive additions in high-strength adhesives/sealant comprising high percentages of carbon black as a reinforcing filler for windscreen glazing in automobile construction for increasing the electrical resistance and thus for improving the electrical properties of antennae integrated into the vehicle windscreens.

Abstract: Methods for elastifying and extending polymers with EVA copolymers, PVC homopolymers or PVC copolymers in gel form are described. The elastified and extended polymers are useful as sealing materials, adhesives and sealants.

Abstract: A device for expressing free-flowing compositions is presented having a cylindrical container (1) for accommodating a free-flowing component (2), two axially displaceable pistons (3) and (4) designed to close the cylindrical container, and a material outlet opening (5) at the lower end of the cylinder wall. The material outlet opening only releases the flow of the component (2) after the piston (4) has been moved past the material outlet opening into the end position (4′) by the expressing pressure. The device can be used with a conventional applicator for one-component adhesives, sealants or coating materials to provide the addition of a second component.

Abstract: A Process for Joining Plastic Moldings Plastic moldings can be joined with one-component or two-component adhesives, the connecting joint being spanned by metal strips. The metal strips are at least partly embedded in the adhesive layer. This process is particularly suitable for repairing damaged plastic moldings, more particularly automobile parts, for example fenders. The moldings repaired by the process according to the invention are restored to their original performance properties, more particularly dimensional rigidity, impact strength and appearance. In the event of scrapping, the moldings thus repaired are fully recyclable by conventional methods.
