Abstract:
A package comprises a strip (1) of corrugated cardboard to be wrapped around objects (A) placed on its inside surface. It is provided with two transverse flaps (13, 14) in face-to-face relationship and attached to the inside surface of the strip (1) on two side bands (8, 9) which extend from its longitudinal edges (2, 3) over a distance x, parallel to the longitudinal edges (2, 3) of the strip (1). The strip (1) comprises an end panel (7) which is cut in line with a transverse fold (6) in its central part, meaning that part lying between the two side bands (8, 9). The panel (7) is divided into two flaps (13, 14) by a median longitudinal slit (15). The panel (7) may be folded over the inside surface of the strip (1) by bending it about the transverse fold (6) and fastened to the side bands (8, 9) of the strip (1). The strip (1) is advantageously glued to itself in the transverse direction and to the two flaps (13, 14) when folded against an article in the package.
Abstract:
Branched silicone (organopolysiloxane) resins and preparation method and use thereof are provided, which contain at least one group selected from phosphonate and phosphinate groups and at least one organic group containing nitrogen. Such silicone resins can be used in thermoplastic, thermosetting or rubber organic polymer compositions to reduce the flammability of the organic polymer compositions.
Abstract:
The invention provides a process for improving the fire resistance of a thermoplastic, thermoset or rubber organic polymer composition, characterised in that an alkoxysilane is added to a thermoplastic, thermosetting and rubber organic polymer composition and is heated to cause hydrolysis and condensation of the alkoxysilane. For example the alkoxysilane is a Benzoxazine triethoxysilane.
Abstract:
A method of forming a powder and/or discrete gel particles of a compound selected from the group of a metallic oxide, a metalloid oxide, a mixed oxide, an organometallic oxide, an organometalloid oxide, an organomixed oxide resin, and/or an organic resin from one or more respective organometallic precursor(s), organometalloid precursor(s) and/or organic precursors and mixtures thereof, comprising the steps of passing a gas into a means for forming excited and/or unstable gas species (1a), typically an atmospheric plasma generating means; treating said gas such that upon leaving said means the gas comprises excited and/or unstable gas species which are substantially free of electrical charges at a temperature of between 10° C. and 500° C. A gaseous and/or liquid precursor is then introduced (50a,50b) into said excited and unstable gas species in a downstream region external (20) to the means for forming excited and/or unstable gas. The interaction between the precursor and the excited and unstable gas species results in the formation of a powder and/or discrete gelled particles which are subsequently collected. The particles prepared by the method may be subsequently functionalised.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method of functionalizing a powdered substrate. The method comprises the following steps, which method comprises passing a gas into a means for forming excited and/or unstable gas species, typically an atmospheric pressure plasma or the like and treating the gas such that, upon leaving said means, the gas comprises excited and/or unstable gas species which are substantially free of electric charge. The gas comprising the excited and/or unstable gas species which are substantially free of electric charge is then used to treat a powdered substrate and a functionalizing precursor in a downstream region external to the means for forming excited and/or unstable gas, wherein neither the powdered substrate nor the functionalizing precursor have been subjected to steps (i) and (ii) and wherein said functionalizing precursor is introduced simultaneously with or subsequent to introduction of the powdered substrate. Preferably the method takes place in a fluidized bed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of producing a product comprising a support having a long-acting adhesive and a protective tape disposed thereon, so that said adhesive can be used at a later time. The inventive method is characterised in that it consists in: determining a reference plane (P) which is close to the location of the adhesive deposit and which is either below the plane containing the lower face of the support or above the plane containing the upper face of said support; establishing the distance (D) separating the reference plane (P) and the level (N) at which the adhesive (2) is delivered, which is close to the plane containing the application face of the support; delivering the long-acting adhesive (2); delivering a protective tape (20) which is disposed on top of the adhesive (2) either simultaneously using a prefabricated transfer tape or separately; moving the support in relation to the deposit station; exerting a transverse force on the support such that one of the faces thereof is applied continuously against the reference plane (P); and exerting a pressure, counter to the transverse force, on the protective tape (20) and the adhesive (2).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a machine for packing articles of different sizes which is accordingly intended to use containers that vary in their dimensions and particularly in height.It is characterized in that it includes a working plane 20 and a reference plane 22 that are substantially perpendicular to one another, and an ascending ramp 24-105-106 extending from one to the other, movable devices 23, 23a kinematically connected to a motor 45, guides located on the path that the closure panels 6 must follow in the course of the displacement of container-article sets 1, at least one pressure element 27-54 having a smooth active base 29, mounted to be movable perpendicular to the working plane 20 and elastically urged toward it, at least one pressure element 30-60 having a smooth active face 34, mounted to be movable perpendicular to the reference plane 22 and elastically urged toward it, and means 70 to 72 intended for the fixation of panels 6 of containers 1 equipped with their contents A.
