A method for consolidating a fibrous material of plant-based fibers, such as cellulose fibers and/or poly-lactic acid fibers, the method including: applying to the fibrous material an aqueous solution including a cellulose derivative, and/or a salt thereof, and an acid, the aqueous solution having a pH within the range of from 3 to 7, optionally within the range of from 3 to 6, optionally within the range of from 3 to 4.5; and drying the bonded fibrous material, optionally at 100° C. or higher. Also, a fibrous material formed by the method, an aqueous binder solution including a cellulose derivative, and/or a salt thereof, and an acid, and a nonwoven material including airlaid plant-based fibers being consolidated by a bio-based binder in the presence of a carboxylic acid, the bio-based binder being a cellulose derivative, and/or a salt thereof.

A hair fixative composition includes at least one carboxylated cellulose ether based polyglucose polymer, an alcohol based solvent system, and a cosmetically acceptable additive, wherein the polyglucose polymer is soluble in the alcohol based solvent system. The polyglucose polymer is obtained by reacting at least one cellulose ether with at least one anhydride.

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.
