Abstract: Methods of reducing paper dusting in a papermaking process, and a low dusting tissue having increased strength are provided. Application of a polymer comprising at least one amine-containing vinylic or allylic monomer to at least one surface of a paper web during the papermaking process reduces the dusting tendency of the paper, and increases both the wet and dry strength of the paper product.

Abstract: Provided is a melamine decorative board having a milky-white core layer and less warpage. When the melamine decorative board is bonded onto a base plate such as a plywood, a particle board, and a steel board, a color tone of the base plate does not appear through to a decorative layer. Stacked and thermal-pressure-formed are: a resin-impregnated patterned paper as the decorative layer; multiple sheets of a resin-impregnated core paper, as the core layer, produced by impregnating a whitish fibrous base material with a resin liquid including: a condensate of melamine and formaldehyde, and a divalent polyalkylene glycol or a derivative thereof, or a tri- or more valent polyalkylene glycol polyvalent ether, and drying the whitish fibrous base material; and a resin-impregnated backside paper, as a backside layer, produced by impregnating a fibrous base material with a condensate of melamine and formaldehyde and drying the fibrous base material.
Abstract: A bonding composition for insulation products based on mineral wool, notably of glass or of rock, includes at least one reducing saccharide, at least one hydrogenated saccharide, and at least one polyfunctional crosslinking agent.

Abstract: Aspects of the invention generally provide structures for rolling paper structures for an end user to create a cigar or cigarette. In one aspect, a rolling paper structure is provided including a first paper section having a first height, a second paper section coupled to the first paper section and the second paper section having a second height longer than the first height, and an optional adhesive disposed on the second paper section. The rolling paper structure may be folded between the first paper section and the second paper section having a portion extending beyond the first paper section. An adhesive comprising a hemp additive for rolling paper structures is also provided.
Abstract: Disclosed is a foam comprising a matrix and cells included in the matrix. The matrix comprises denatured protein and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, salts thereof, and derivatives of alginic acid.
Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid protein-polysaccharide superabsorbent hydrogel. The hydrogel includes two interpenetrating matrices: a first matrix which is an acylated, cross-linked protein matrix, and a second matrix which is an anionic polysaccharidc matrix. The two matrices can be non-cross-linked, or the hydrogel can further include bridging moieties that covalently cross-linking the acylated, cross-linked protein matrix to the anionic polysaccharide matrix.
