  • Publication number: 20240067848
    Abstract: An adhesive label is described comprising a backing material, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer attached to the backing material and either a release liner attached to the adhesive layer or a release coating on the other side of the backing material. The backing material is made of paper or home compostable and biodegradable polymer film, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is made from an aqueous polyurethane dispersion pressure-sensitive adhesive. At least 60% by weight of the polyurethane is composed of diisocyanates, polyesterdiols, and at least one bifunctional carboxylic acid selected from di hydroxy carboxylic acids and diamino carboxylic acids, wherein the polyurethane has no melting point above 20° C. or wherein the polyurethane has a melting point above 20° C. with an enthalpy of fusion lower than 10 J/g, and wherein a film of the polyurethane adhesive preferably decomposes at home compost conditions to more than 90% by weight into CO2 and water within 360 days.

  • Patent number: 11512664
    Abstract: A cylinder head gasket with a carrier layer and at least one inserted sealing element, wherein the inserted sealing element has a passage opening for combustion gas, the inserted sealing element is fastened on the carrier layer on an outer side which is spaced apart from the passage opening, and the inserted sealing element has at least a first layer and at least one further layer. An engine component comprising the cylinder head gasket is disclosed, the engine component having an engine block unit, a cylinder sleeve unit which delimits the engine block unit at least in regions from a combustion chamber, and a cylinder head unit, wherein the cylinder head gasket is arranged between the cylinder head unit on one hand and the engine block unit and the cylinder sleeve unit on the other hand.

  • Patent number: 10648130
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of microfibrillated cellulose composition, wherein the microfibrillated cellulose has an average fiber length in the range from 500 to 1300 ?m and a percentage of fiber length in the category ?200 ?m of at least 15%, obtained by subjecting an aqueous mixture comprising 30 to 70% by weight of cellulose containing fibers to mechanical shearing at a temperature in the range of from ?40° C. to ?120° C. in the presence of at least one thermostable biocide, to the microfibrillated cellulose composition obtained in this process and their use in a process for production of paper, card and board comprising draining a paper stock comprising the microfibrillated cellulose composition with sheet formation in the wire.

  • Publication number: 20160145805
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of microfibrillated cellulose composition, wherein the microfibrillated cellulose has an average fiber length in the range from 500 to 1300 ?m and a percentage of fiber length in the category <200 ?m of at least 15%, obtained by subjecting an aqueous mixture comprising 30 to 70% by weight of cellulose containing fibers to mechanical shearing at a temperature in the range of from >40° C. to <120° C. in the presence of at least one thermostable biocide, to the microfibrillated cellulose composition obtained in this process and their use in a process for production of paper, card and board comprising draining a paper stock comprising the microfibrillated cellulose composition with sheet formation in the wire.

  • Patent number: 6695037
    Abstract: A heater of a motor vehicle is provided which is operated with liquid fuel. The heater is especially a water heater in the form of an auxiliary heater or parking heater. The heater has a burner and heat exchanger in a housing with a cover, in which the connecting branches for the water feed and air feed and for the water return and the air return are arranged. At least one of the connecting branches is designed as a rotatable elbow branch (rotatable elbow socket). An antirotation lock may be provided for easy individual line guidance requiring little space in the automobile.
