  • Patent number: 7997435
    Abstract: A container (1) for a plurality of test strips, in particular for strip-shaped indicator sticks, has a housing lower part (2) and a housing upper part (3), which can be brought into engagement with the housing lower part (2) in a positive manner, where the housing upper part (3) has an opening with a sealing flap (14) mounted in a pivotable manner, where the housing lower part (2) has a plurality of projecting snap-in elements (7), which can be brought into engagement with matched recesses (10) of the housing upper part (3), and where the sealing flap (14) is connected along its periphery to the housing upper part (3) by means of at least one connecting strip which can be torn off. The snap-in elements (7) project by more than one wall thickness of the housing upper part (3) in the region around the recesses (10). The sealing flap (14) preferably has a tear-off connecting strip on each of two opposite sides.

  • Patent number: 5512614
    Abstract: A binder mixture for stoving lacquers comprising A) at least one alkyd resin; and B) at least one poly-N-acyl alkyleneimine prepared by cationic polymerization of a monomer mixture ofa) from 10 to 90% by weight of at least one monomer corresponding to formula (I): ##STR1## in which Z is a direct bond or the group CR.sup.5 R.sup.6, R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 can be the same or different and represent H or a C.sub.1-8 alkyl group, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 can be the same or different and represent H or a C.sub.1-2 alkyl group, R.sup.7 is a hydroxyl-containing alkyl or alkylene group of a hydroxycarboxylic acid containing 2 to 32 carbon atoms,b) from 90 to 10% by weight of at least one monomer corresponding to formula (II): ##STR2## in which Z and R.sup.1 to R.sup.6 are as defined above and R.sup.8 is the radical of an aromatic monocarboxylic acid, andc) from 0 to 80% by weight of at least one monomer corresponding formula (III): ##STR3## in which Z and R.sup.1 to R.sup.6 are as defined above, and R.sup.

  • Patent number: 5357039
    Abstract: Poly-N-acylalkyleneimines corresponding to the following formula ##STR1## are used as an oxidatively crosslinking constituent in paints. In formula (I), R--CO represents the acyl radical of a mono- or polyunsaturated, aliphatic C.sub.16-22 carboxylic acid or a mixture of such radicals, R'--CO represents the acyl radical of a C.sub.1-22 carboxylic acid or a mixture of such radicals and x and y represent the percentages by weight of the particular polymer units, x assuming values of 20 to 100% and preferably 20 to 95% and y assuming values of 80 to 0% and preferably 80 to 5%. The indices m and n independently of one another may assume the value 2 or 3.

  • Patent number: 5240744
    Abstract: In the process described, cyclic polyimino ethers with .DELTA..sup.2 -oxazoline or .DELTA..sup.2 -5,6-dihydro-4H-1,3-oxazine structure are applied, alone or together with cyclic monoimino ethers of the same type, or with lactones, plus cationic polymerization catalysts, to solid surfaces and polymerized by heating. The process gives smooth, glossy coatings with high adhesive strength, hardness, and elasticity.
