The use of silicone emulsions for detaching rubber articles from pressure molds greatly increases the productivity of pressing, reduces spoilage (by 90%) and costs of cleaning the pressure molds (by 80%). If plastic masses are pressed, the introduction of 1-2% of silicone liquid into the composition helps to detach the article from the mold easily, improves its surface and, besides, keeps the pressure mold in use without cleaning for 4 months. When gypsum molds for ceramic articles are manufactured, lubri-... 

Packaging material has a dual role and acts both to contain the product and to prevent the entry of microorganisms or moisture which may result in spoilage, and it is therefore important that the source of contamination is not the packaging itself. The microflora of packaging materials is dependent upon both its composition and storage conditions. This, and a consideration of the type of pharmaceutical product to be packed, determine whether a sterilization treatment is required. 

The Agricultural Research Service— This agency is the main research division of the USDA. A considerable amount of its resources and staff are committed to the development of new food products, human nutrition, the nutrient composition of foods, and protection of foods against spoilage. 

Suggested End Uses When a product contains water, or is ultimately applied by dispersion in water, it is subject to attack by bacteria unless a functional preservative is used at the proper concentration. COSAN JTA-46 is recommended for use in joint cements, acoustical plasters, texture-finished paint, building adhesives and other powdered products which are commonly applied out of water solutions or dispersions. One of the major problems in the use of these products is microbial spoilage. COSAN JTA-46 has been specifically formulated as a preservative for the protection of these compositions without bringing about commonly encountered undesirable side effects. In addition, control of fungi where required will be provided in order to mitigate the problems associated with mildew defacement. COSAN JTA-46 offers immediate preservation upon wetting of the formulation which is to be protected.
