The invention relates to a molded product made of fiber material with a connection element (11). In order to achieve a particularly firm anchoring of the connection element (11) in the fiber material of the molded product, the connection element (11) has a connecting wall (17) with holes (18) through which the fiber material of the molded product projects.

A water-based barrier coating composition suitable for use as a barrier coating is disclosed which includes an aqueous polymer composition obtainable by free radical (co)polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer blend having an optionally substituted styrene, at least one C1-C4-alkyl (meth)acrylate, other ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable monomers, degraded starch polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a plasticizer; a composition having C16-C18 alkenyl ketene dimer, optionally as a mixture with rosin, of a gelling agent; and optionally a filler.

A biodegradable and compostable sheet of material for picking up and disposing of dog excrement in an environmentally friendly manner. The sheet comprises paper or paperboard that is made grease resistant. The sheets may be stored in individual sheets or on an elongated sheet that may be folded and rolled for use with dispensing units. In operation, a user grabs or tears off an individual sheet and then places the sheet over the dog excrement so that it is located generally about the sheet's center. The corners or top edges of the sheet may then be grasped and rotated in a direction opposite of the rotation of the central section so that a twist end is formed to retain the dog excrement within a sack. The sack may then be disposed of in a trash can or composter, wherein it will degrade in an environmental safe way.
