To produce a cellulosic article, a cellulosic amine oxide solution is pressed through a nozzle or through a slit, then passed through an air slit and finally coagulated in a precipitation bath. According to the invention, it is not stretched in the air gap, i.e. the ratio of discharge rate to hole emergence rate is at most 1; only the coagulated cellulose is stretched or deep-drawn.

Primer compositions are disclosed which are a homogeneous, fluid, uncured suspension of discrete particles of a polar group-containing modified propylene polymer in a film forming resin material, the particles having an average particle size of less than 5 mu m, and the primer composition being substantially free of solvent for the polar group-containing modified propylene polymer. The compositio...

The invention relates to a method of acquiring granular growth of a microorganism in a reactor containing a liquid medium.

An absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable upper sheet, a liquid impermeable bottom sheet, and an absorbent body between the bottom sheet and the upper sheet, and at least one longitudinally extending liquid barrier comprising an elongated elastic element and an elongated, essentially liquid-impermeable and inelastic material on each side of a longitudinal center line. A liquid impermeable t...

An absorbent article (20), such as a diaper, sanitary napkin, incontinence guard or like article, including longitudinally and transversely extending edges, a bottom liquid-impermeable sheet, an absorbent sheet, an upper liquid-impermeable sheet which in one embodiment has at least one longitudinally extending liquid barrier (14) fastened along or adjacent the longitudinal edge of the article whic...

An absorbent article (16), such as a diaper, incontinence guard or like article, which includes longitudinally and transversally extending edges, a bottom liquid-impermeable sheet, an absorbent sheet, and a top liquid-permeable sheet, whereby the article in one embodiment has at least one elongated liquid barrier (21, 22) on each side of the longitudinal centre line of the top liquid-permeable she...

A method of producing an intermittent elastic web of material. According to the invention, an elongated elastic element (1) is laid-out in a pre-stretched state and in a longitudinal extending wave form and is fastened to a longitudinally extending web (2) such that the web transversely touches or extends beyond the outermost part of wave crests (3) and wave troughs (4) of the wave-shaped elastic ...

The present invention provides a coating layer of the coke oven having a high strength, high impact resistance and excellent smoothness to enable long term protection of the fire brick of the coke oven. Carbon adhered to the brick can be removed by spraying a coating agent with a glaze layer mainly composed of 18 to 70% by weight of SiO2 and 10 to 60% by weight of Na2O and/or K2O and containing on...

The axial movement of the work bar (6) occurs through track engagement between it and a piece and relative rotation between them via a drive component. The arrangement is convertible between two function conditions, i.e. a first in which the drive component is arranged to produce lifting and lowering and a second in which lifting and lowering can occur manually. The transition between these two co...

The gas spring, through a pivot arm (12) articulately connected to it, pivots the furniture part to the required position. The pivot arm, during at least the part of the pivoting movement, works in conjunction with a counter pressure component (18), so that the pivot arm is made to pivot, causing the furniture part to be activated.

The flameproof filter material has nonwoven layers (31,32) to separate dust particles and a woven layer (33) to increase the viscosity. One side of the flameproof filter material has a nonwoven layer (31) of oxidised acrylonitrile (oxygen) fibres or a non-fusible mixture of oxygen and bonding fibres. The separate bonding fibres, with a low melting point, are of polyester, polypropylene, polyphen...

A modular plastic turn belt has internal modules with link ends of varying shapes, a central body formed for high stiffness, large open area, and light-weight construction.
