The inventive products can be used for dissolving fats, peptides, resins, and all types of resinous materials, removing fats, peptides, resins, and all types of resinous materials from surfaces, cleaning, and lubricating, according to the solubilized active substances used. If a vegetable substance is intimately dispersed in such a melt, the melt is cooled instead of being coated with water. The melt turns brittle and can then be coarsely chopped and ground in a chopper-grinder without producing dust and can then be finely ground in a wet state with water in a hammer mill or an emulsifying mill until the crystals of the melt have been reduced to a diameter of less than 5 micrometers. The crystals of the melt are then dissolved or dispersed in additional water and are added to the humus soil in order for the crystals to be absorbed by the plant via the roots thereof, or the crystals are sprayed directly to the part of the plant that lies above the ground. | 11-12-2009 |
