Abstract: The invention relates to a pigment granulate which contains 40 to 65% by weight of pigment and at least 10% by weight of a compound of general formula (I) CH3—(CH2)n—CH2—O—[(CH2)p—O]m—H, wherein n=8-18, p=1-4 and m=35-100, the weight ratio of the compound of general formula I to the pigment being ? the STSA surface area of the pigment in m2/g multiplied by 0.0021 g/m2 and the mass-weighted particle size of the pigment granulate being <20 ?m. The pigment granulate can be produced by dispersing the pigment and the compound of formula I in a solvent and then drying the dispersion obtained. The pigments according to the invention can be used for dying and/or the antistatic finishing in water-based paints and lacquer systems, dispersion on paints, printing inks, ink systems and coating systems.

Abstract: A system for shipping and displaying a vehicle is disclosed. A display box includes a vehicle receiving area that has a display area and an enclosed area so that when the vehicle is located in the display box a prospective purchaser can sit on the seat. For shipping a vehicle is affixed to a first display box and a second vehicle is affixed to a second display box. The second display box is inverted and reversed and is located above the first display box to form a rectangularly shaped shipping combination. First and second disposable pillars are located between the first and second vehicles to support the two display boxes when combined to form the shipping combination. In a preferred embodiment, the pillars locate in foot receiving areas of the vehicles in the first and second display boxes.

Abstract: Ink jet ink containing at least one pigment and at least one oxidized carbon black. The ink jet ink is prepared in a process wherein the pigment is dispersed in at least one solvent, followed by addition of the oxidized carbon black and renewed dispersing. The ink jet ink can be used for printing textiles, metal, foil, film, sheet, glass and paper.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for preparing a platinum-ruthenium catalyst and the catalyst prepared therewith. The catalyst can be supported on a support material in powder form or may also be unsupported. To prepare the supported catalyst, the support material is suspended in water and the suspension is heated to at most the boiling point. While keeping the temperature of the suspension the same, solutions of hexachloroplatinic acid and ruthenium chloride are then added to the suspension, then the pH of the suspension is increased to a value between 6.5 and 10 by adding an alkaline solution and the noble metals are thus precipitated onto the support material. Afterwards, one or more organic carboxylic acids and/or their salts are added to the suspension and the catalyst is chemically reduced, washed, dried and optionally subsequently calcined under an inert or reducing atmosphere at a temperature between 300 und 1000° C.
