A process for producing a detergent portion, comprising the steps of forming one or more dimensionally stable hollow bodies comprising at least one compartment by injection moulding, providing one or more means for compartmentalizing the dimensionally stable hollow bodies, filling the compartment with at least one detersive formulation, and closing the compartment to form a partial or whole enclosure around the detersive formulation.

This invention relates to a novel process of manufacture of nanoparticles of substantially water insoluble materials from emulsions. The emulsions have the ability to form a single liquid phase upon dilution of the external phase, instantly producing dispersible solid nanoparticles. The formed nanoparticles have average diameter of about 10 to 200 nm and are suitable for drug delivery and targeting of water insoluble therapeutic or diagnostic agents. Examples of such agents are methotrexate, pro...

The present invention relates to a method for coating long-keeping sausages and hard cheese with a composition comprising shellac and polyamide, and to the coated long-keeping sausages and hard cheese obtainable by such method.

An improved method for the isolation of taxanes of high purity from the crude extract of naturally occurring Taxus canadensis which comprises the steps of: a) filtering the crude extract by liquid column chromatography; b) enriching the taxanes obtained from step a) by precipitation and crystallization; and c) dissolving the taxanes extract in a polar organic solvent mixture comprising an alcohol and a non-alcohol solvent, which solution is then subjected to further separation by liquid column c...

The present invention relates to a wrapped cord, to a method of making said wrapped cord, to a method of treating said wrapped cord with an adhesive treatment composition, to the treated wrapped cord obtainable by said method as well as to a reinforced rubber article comprising said treated cord, such as automotive tires.

Portioned liquid detergents having a liquid phase having one or more solid particles dispersed therein, the detergent being contained in a water-soluble or water-dispersible container, wherein the solid particles have a size above 600 .mu.m.

The invention relates to a method for impregnating, incorporating or surface-treating substances/articles that can be microbially decomposed, contaminated and/or infested with parasites and/or that are perishable. The inventive method comprises the following steps: applying a special antimicrobial/antiparasite composition on the substances/articles or incorporating the antimicrobial/antiparasite composition in the substances. The invention further relates to said special antimicrobial/antiparasi...

The present invention relates to a wrapped cord comprising a bundle of inorganic filaments, to a method of making said wrapped cord, to a method of treating said wrapped cord with an adhesive treatment composition, to the treated wrapped cord obtainable by said method as well as to a reinforced rubber article comprising said treated cord, such as automotive tires.

Triphasic or multiphasic dosage units for washing or cleaning compositions, comprising at least two washing or cleaning composition shaped bodies, each of which has at least one filled cavity, characterized in that the shaped bodies are adhesively bonded to one another such that the dosage unit has at least two differently filled cavities on its surface, are suitable for the combined formulation of solid and liquid or free-flowing washing or cleaning compositions in one dosage unit.

A gel capsule, loaded with at least one organic percarboxylic acid is manufactured by the process comprising the steps of: (a) providing an oil having a melting point below 35.degree. C. at atmospheric pressure and that is inert towards the organic percarboxylic acid; (b) contacting the oil with at least one stabilizer at a temperature of from 25.degree. C. to 50.degree. C. to obtain a liquid matrix medium comprising the oil and the stabilizer, (c) optionally cooling the matrix medium resulting ...
