Abstract: Melamine-formaldehyde foam with improved weather resistance comprising 0.1 to 8 wt.-% of at least one UV stabilizer, such as benzotriazole derivatives and piperidinol derivatives and further 1 to 3 wt.-% of at least one hydrophobicization agent, such as organo-modified siloxanes and silanes and processes for producing such melamine-formaldehyde foams with improved weather resistance.

Abstract: A water-based hybrid ink that includes as components (a) water, (b) an UV-curing oligomer and/or polymer containing ethylenically unsaturated functional groups, (c) a humectant, (d) a radical-forming photoinitiator, wherein the hybrid ink additionally includes (e) a heat-curing oligomer and/or polymer containing complementary functional groups.

Abstract: A position-measuring device includes a graduation carrier having a measuring graduation disposed thereon. At least one position sensor is configured to generate position-dependent measurement signals by scanning the measuring graduation. A processor is configured to process the position-dependent measurement signals into position signals. An interface is configured to transmit the position signals to subsequent electronics via at least one data channel. At least one motion sensor is configured to generate time-varying measurement signals. A signal analyzer is configured to analyze the measurement signals in the frequency domain dependent on parameters that are transmittable from the subsequent electronics to the interface unit, and to produce result data that is transmittable from the interface unit to the subsequent electronics.

Abstract: A mixer system for producing topcoat compositions and filling compounds which has a volumetric or gravimetric metering plant as a mixing apparatus and at least the following components (a) to (d): at least one pigment-free component (a) for producing at least one topcoat composition (A); at least one component (b) different from (a), for producing at least one coating composition (B) used as a filling compound; a plurality of different pigment pastes (c) different from the components (a), (b), and (d), which in each case independently of one another include at least one binder (c1), at least one organic solvent (c2), and at least one pigment (c3); and a plurality of different, binder-free dye solutions (d). A process for producing topcoat compositions and/or filling compounds with the mixer system, and a method of repairing defects on or in wood with the topcoat compositions and/or filling compounds.
