The present invention refers to a paper article comprising a paper component having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and/or the second side of the paper component is at least partially coated with a heat-sealable coating, wherein the heat-sealable coating comprises a first polymer comprising units derived from a (meth)acrylate and/or (meth)acrylic acid and/or a salt thereof, and a second polymer, being different from the first polymer, comprising units derived from a) a (meth)acrylate and/or (meth)acrylic acid and/or a salt thereof, and b) an alkene, wherein the first polymer and the second polymer are present in the heat-sealable coating in a weight ratio of 90:10 to 35:65, and wherein the first polymer and the second polymer are present in the heat-sealable coating in an overall amount of at least 50 wt. %, based on the total weight of the coating. Furthermore, the present invention refers to a laminate comprising a paper component, a substrate and a heat-seal layer being present between the paper component and the substrate, which is obtained by heat-sealing a paper article according to the present invention to the substrate. The invention also refers to a use of a coating for heat-sealing a paper component to a substrate.

Described herein is a fire-resistant adhesive coating composition which emits water vapor when exposed to fire. Such compositions comprise an ionic polyacrylate dispersant, aluminum hydroxide, silicate, and an alkoxylated alcohol. In certain embodiments, the composition comprises a solids content of at least about 44.2%, based on the wet weight of the composition. Also described herein are methods for making and using of such coating compositions.

The invention provides a method for preparing a binder precursor, the method comprising the steps of: i) mixing (A) fungi or glucan and (B) starch with an alkaline agent in the presence of an aqueous solvent system to form an alkaline composition; ii) mixing the alkaline composition with an acidic agent to form a mixture; and iii) drying the mixture and forming a powder therefrom, so as to form a powdered binder precursor.
