Methods of using wet-setting adhesives in oral environments, methods of using adhesives for bonding a dental material to a tooth, a gum, or a soft tissue in a mouth, a method of sealing a wound or closing an incision in a gum or a soft tissue, and a method of forming an adhesive coating on a tooth.

The present disclosure is providing a bio-based adhesive composition which is water-based. The adhesive composition includes bioprotein, salt of carboxymethyl cellulose, gum, alkali and a solvent. The adhesive composition is prepared at ambient conditions. The adhesive composition is useful for insulation of the electric material, especially for pressboard for a transformer which requires good adhesive for imparting good mechanical and electrical strength.

An adhesive composition is disclosed including buffering and pH adjusting agents, a binder protein, an alkali lignin, and a cationic curing agent. The adhesive composition is capable of being tailored for the purpose of making particle board materials of varying degrees, by virtue of modifying the compositional makeup of the adhesive composition. The resulting particle board is free of the conventional chemicals that are present in conventional particle boards, such as formaldehyde. The result is an all-natural, biodegradable, renewable particle board material that can replace conventional materials with a fraction of the environmental impact. Additionally, the material burns much cleaner than conventional materials, so particle board burn pellets can be made from the compositions disclosed herein.
