The present invention relates to a method of producing a coherent growth substrate product formed of man-made vitreous fibres (MMVF), comprising the steps of (vi) providing MMVF; (vii) providing an uncured binder composition; (viii) providing a superabsorbent polymer; (ix) forming a mixture of the MMVF, the uncured binder composition and the superabsorbent polymer; (x) curing the uncured binder composition in the mixture to form the coherent growth substrate product; wherein the uncured binder composition comprises at least one hydrocolloid.

A formaldehyde-free binder composition for mineral fibers which comprises at least one phenol containing compound and at least one protein.

An aqueous binder composition for mineral fibers which comprises at least one polyelectrolytic hydrocolloid.

A sheet-type aerosol generating article includes at least two aerosol generating sheets each having aerosol generating material and an inductively heatable susceptor The inductively heatable susceptor is positioned between the aerosol generating sheets and each of the aerosol generating sheets has an exposed surface. Methods for manufacturing sheet-type aerosol generating articles are also disclosed.

The present technology generally relates to an encasing for receiving a down material, the encasing being formed by a first layer of material and a second layer of material joined together along their periphery; wherein the first layer of material comprises a non-woven material; the encasing further comprising a first layer of shell material apposed onto an exterior side of the first layer of material; wherein the second layer of material is a second layer of non-woven material or a second layer of shell material; and wherein the second layer of material is a second layer of non-woven material, a second layer of shell material is apposed onto an exterior side of the second layer of non-woven material.

A method and a mineral wool product include a multiple of lamellae, such as a sandwich panel core. The product includes a plurality of lamellae cut from a mineral wool web, and bonded together by applying an adhesive on the surfaces of two adjacent lamellae to form a web-like product, wherein the adhesive comprises at least one hydrocolloid.

The invention relates to a method for producing a bobbin comprising a plurality of wounds of a laminated sheet, the method comprising the steps of: providing a continuous sheet of alkaloids containing material having a free surface; providing a continuous sheet of a first protective material having a free surface; adhering the free surface of the continuous sheet of the first protective material to the free surface of the continuous sheet of alkaloids containing material to form a continuous laminated sheet comprising at least one layer of alkaloids containing material and at least one layer of a first protective material, wherein said at least one layer of alkaloids containing material and said at least one layer of a first protective material define an adhesion surface between them; feeding said laminated sheet to a rotatable center core; rotating the center core so as to wind said continuous laminated sheet around it in such a way to form said bobbin comprising a plurality of wounds of a continuous laminated sheet comprising at least one layer of alkaloids containing material and at least one layer of a first protective material.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a lightweight high-strength material using a shell fragment and to a material. According to the present invention, fragments are collected from shells and are laminated or aligned in a regular array using an adhesive, thereby manufacturing a material that is light and has excellent mechanical characteristics. The present invention is advantageous in that use of waste shells reduces related costs and solves environmental problems.

The invention relates to an aqueous binder composition for mineral fibers comprising at least one polyelectrolytic hydrocolloid.
