The invention relates to an aqueous binder composition comprising a carbohydrate component, possibly a crosslinker and possibly reaction product of carbohydrate component with crosslinker, further comprising a phenalkamine. The invention further discloses binders obtained therefrom and composite products manufactured therewith.

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.

An aqueous NFC containing tail-seal adhesive includes: (a) water; (b) nanofibrillated cellulose; and (c) one or more of: (i) a water-soluble cellulose derivative; or (ii) a water soluble polyol; or (iii) a viscosity modifier other than a water soluble cellulose derivative.

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.

A tamperproof dosage form article comprising: a core, wherein the core comprises a first end and a second end; a first shell on at least a portion of the first end of the core; a second shell on at least a portion of the second end of the core; wherein the first and second shells comprise one or more locking protrusions extending along at least a portion of the circumference and inner surface of the shells, and the core comprises one or more locking recesses, and wherein at least a portion of the shells proximal to the locking protrusions is elastically deformable and arranged such that each one locking protrusion is snapped into each one of the locking recesses once inserted over a predetermined portion of the core to provide a locking force between the core and the shells.

The invention relates to a label which is attachable to object surfaces and to a manufacturing method thereof, the label comprising a pressure sensitive adhesive layer having a coat weight equal to or higher than 10 g/m.sup.2 and wherein the adhesive layer has a composition which is free of alkylphenol ethoxylate and has been selected to comprise emulsion polymerized, water-dispersible acrylate polymer and non-ionic copolymer based on polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol such that when the adhesive layer is subjected to paper recycling process conditions, the adhesive layer resists disintegration into small fragments.

An adhesive for heat press molding contains a reaction product obtained by heat treatment on a mixture containing a polycarboxylic acid and a saccharide.

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.
