Complexes, compositions, articles of manufacture, and method for making the same are provided herein. In one embodiment, a borate-polyol complex may be prepared by reacting a boron-containing compound and a polyol to form a reaction mixture and then neutralizing the reaction mixture to form a neutralized borate-polyol complex. The neutralized borate-polyol complex may then be used in combination with polymeric resins to form adhesive products, among other material products, which products can be in manufacturing articles.

A hot-melt adhesive resin composition includes a modified polyolefin in which a functional group is introduced into a polyolefin, a solid phenol resin, and a crosslinking agent, wherein the content of the modified polyolefin is 10 parts by mass or more and 40 parts by mass or less, based on 100 parts by mass of the total of the modified polyolefin and the solid phenol resin, and the modified polyolefin and the crosslinking agent are mixed so that a functional group possessed by the crosslinking agent is more than 1.0 equivalent and 5.0 equivalents or less, based on 1.0 equivalent of a functional group possessed by the modified polyolefin.
