Abstract: Curable epoxy resin compositions comprising (a) an epoxy resin having on average more than one epoxide group in the molecule, (b) an epoxy resin curing agent in an amount sufficient for full curing of the epoxy resin, (c) wollastonite having an average particle size of less than 100 &mgr;m in an amount of 10 to 350 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the sum of components (a) and (b), (d) a quartz/kaolinite mixture having an average particle size of less than 100 &mgr;m in an amount of 10 to 350 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the sum of components (a) and (b), the content of components (c) and (d) together not being greater than 360 parts by weight, and, if appropriate, (e) customary additives, are suitable for the production of mouldings having high-glass surfaces.

Abstract: Molded articles having a high gloss comprising(a) an epoxy resin having on average more than one epoxide group in the molecule,(b) an epoxy resin curing agent in an amount sufficient for full curing of the epoxy resin,(c) wollastonite having an average particle size of less than 50 .mu.m in an amount of 10 to 350 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the sum of components (a) and (b),(d) a quartz/kaolinite mixture having an average particle size of less than 100 .mu.m in an amount of 10 to 350 parts by weight per 50 parts by weight of the sum of components (a) and (b), the content of components (c) and (d) together not being greater than 360 parts by weight, and, if appropriate,(e) customary additives.

Abstract: Moulding compositions comprising(a) a melamine/formaldehyde resin, a melamine/phenol/formaldehyde resin or a mixture of said resins,(b) organic and/or inorganic fillers,(c) a lubricant, and(d) 0.1 to 2% by weight, based on the total composition, of 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol as latent hardener,are suitable for the production of mouldings by injection moulding. The latent hardener employed permits extremely short cycle times coupled with long residence times at the cylinder temperature of the injection moulding machine. The moulding compositions are distinguished at the same time by very good flow properties.

Abstract: This invention relates to an anchoring arrangement comprising a plug of a two-component adhesive adapted to be received in a hole in a receiving material, said adhesive being hardenable after the intermixing of the two components and at least one component thereof being micro-encapsulated and in intimate mixture with the second component, and an anchoring rod for an arrangement rupturing said micro-capsules upon insertion into said hole.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for coating workpiece members fed one at a time to a coating station whereat individual workpiece members are coated with a viscous coating medium supplied from a reservoir under constant hydrostatic pressure to ensure coating of said workpiece members with a predetermined amount of the viscous medium of such viscosity as to be suspended, without dropping, from the opening of tubes depending from a coating applicator at the coating station supplied with viscous medium from the reservoir at constant hydrostatic pressure. The workpiece members thus coated are moved along a track, preferably rolling about their axes, dried and collected.
