The present invention relates, in one aspect, to wax-like and lanolin-like formulations derived from natural-origin materials, particularly gum rosin combined with long-chain alcohols/polyols (fatty alcohols), the esters resulting from the esterification of these substances, and the polyols resulting from the hydroxylation of these esters, as well as its methods of preparation. The formulations of this invention maybe used as synthetic/natural wax substitutes in formulations for products, including but not limited to, cosmetics, foods and beverages, lanolin substitutes, adhesives, packaging and pharmaceuticals.

An adhesive composition comprising silicone adhesives and one or more absorbent fillers such as hydrocolloids is disclosed. The adhesive composition is particularly well suited for use in negative pressure wound therapies.

A method of manufacturing a fluorescent substance may include forming dicing trenches on one surface of a fluorescent substance wafer along grid-type dicing lines, filling the dicing trench with an adhesive material having fluidity, curing the adhesive material, reducing a thickness of a surface opposite to the one surface on which the dicing trenches are formed to make an integrated form of a plurality of individual fluorescent substances, which are divided along the dicing lines, with the adhesive material connecting therebetween, and removing the adhesive material to remain only the divided individual fluorescent substances.
