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 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.

Methods for bonding polymeric substrates to component parts, and medical devices assemblies including a tubing and a component part bonded together using a solvent containing a tackifier.

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

The present invention relates to a method of providing thermal and/or acoustic insulation to a structure, comprising the steps of: providing a substrate which comprises fibres; applying the substrate to the structure; blending the substrate with a binder composition before, during or after application of the substrate to the structure; allowing curing of the binder composition after the substrate and the binder composition have been applied to the structure; wherein the binder composition comprises at least one hydrocolloid. The present invention also relates to an insulated structure obtainable by said method.

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

Disclosed herein are processes for preparing a resin-extended rubber by mixing at least one thermoplastic resin with a resin-rubber-solvent cement comprising at least one conjugated diene monomer-containing rubber and the resin-extended rubber resulting from such processes. Also disclosed is a resin-extended rubber-solvent-cement comprising at least one conjugated diene monomer-containing rubber, at least one non-polar solvent, and at least one thermoplastic resin as well as a rubber composition comprising a resin-extended rubber.

The present invention is directed to solventborne film-forming compositions comprising: a) a non-chlorinated, linear polyolefin polymer prepared from a reaction mixture comprising 0.5 to 5 percent by weight maleic anhydride based on the total weight of monomers in the reaction mixture; b) an aminoplast: and c) a polymer component comprising: i) an addition polymer prepared from a reaction mixture comprising coumarone; and/or ii) an alkyd resin. The present invention is also drawn to methods of improving fuel resistance of a coated article, comprising: (1) applying the solventborne film-forming composition above to a substrate to form a coated substrate; (2) applying a curable film-forming composition to at least a portion of the coated substrate formed in step (1) to form a multi-layer coated substrate; and (3) heating the multi-layer coated substrate formed in step (2) to a temperature and for a time sufficient to cure the film-forming composition.

A fire-protecting insulation product has air-laid mineral wool fibres and a binder. The binder is the result of curing a binder composition comprising at least one hydrocolloid. The product further comprises a particulate endothermic material.
