The present invention is to provide a water-based hot-melt adhesive for healthcare packaging. The water-based hot-melt adhesive includes 20 to 60 weight parts of hydrophilic-modified water-based polyolefin resin; 1 to 30 weight parts of water-based ionomer; 10 to 30 weight parts of wax particles; and 10 to 30 weight parts of tackifier particles. The coating layer formed on the healthcare packaging substrate from the water-based hot-melt adhesive of the present invention has great gas-permeability and weather resistance, and the healthcare packaging substrate with the water-based hot-melt adhesive of the present invention has satisfied seal strength, pealing ability and reliability after sealing with flexible sheet or blister containers at the peripheral edges thereof.

The present disclosure is to provide a water-based hot-melt adhesive for healthcare packaging. The water-based hot-melt adhesive includes: 10 wt % to 35 wt % of a water-based thermoplastic resin; 20 wt % to 45 wt % of wax particles and 40 wt % to 60 wt % of tackifier; wherein the tackifier including emulsion tackifier and particulate tackifier and the total amount of the particles in the water-based hot-melt adhesive is present at 40 wt % to 65 wt % based on the total weight of the water-based hot-melt adhesive. The coating layer formed on the healthcare packaging substrate from the water-based hot-melt adhesive of the present disclosure has great gas-permeability, and satisfied seal strength and peeling ability after sealing around with flexible sheets or blister containers.

A roofing material including a bitumen or other hot melt coating disposed across a base sheet of stitch-bonded fabric incorporating a blend of standard and bi-component polyester staple fibers stitch-bonded with a plurality of parallel stitch lines of stitching yarn running in the machine direction. The bicomponent fibers may be heat activated and cooled prior to application of the hot melt coating thereby providing dimensional stability.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing mycelium mat into leather by using pH-controlled tannic acid. The method comprises the following steps: (1) inactivating the mycelium mat; (2) infiltrating the mycelium mat with a polysaccharide solution; (3) treating the polysaccharide-infused mycelium mat with a tannic acid solution; and (4) introducing a buffering agent to the tannic acid-treated mycelium mat. This innovative approach enhances the mechanical properties of the resulting leather, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional leather materials.
