A binder used for manufacturing a composite product is prepared by combining i) Maillard reactants selected from: reducing sugar reactant(s) and nitrogen-containing reactant(s); curable reaction product(s) of reducing sugar reactant(s) and nitrogen-containing reactant(s); and combinations thereof; and ii) a resin; reactants of a resin; and combinations thereof.

Binder compositions and uses thereof

A method of manufacturing a composite product, comprising: —applying a binder composition, notably in the form of an aqueous solution, to non or loosely assembled matter to provide resinated matter, wherein the binder composition consists of a binder composition prepared by combining reactants comprising at least 50% by dry weight reducing sugar reactant(s) and at least 5% by dry weight nitrogen-containing reactant(s); and—arranging the resinated matter to provide loosely arranged resinated matter; and—subjecting the loosely arranged resinated matter to heat and/or pressure to cure the binder composition and to form the composite product; —wherein the nitrogen-containing reactant(s) comprise TPTA triprimary triamine(s), notably wherein the nitrogen-containing reactant(s) comprise at least 5% by dry weight of TPTA triprimary triamine(s).

Composite products

The present invention relates to improved curable binder compositions comprising cellulose hydrolysate sugars and an inorganic ammonia salt, products making use thereof and a process for making such products. The invention binders show improved bond strength under dry and wet conditions.

The invention relates to an aqueous binder composition comprising a carbohydrate component, possibly a crosslinker and possibly reaction product of carbohydrate component with crosslinker, further comprising a phenalkamine. The invention further discloses binders obtained therefrom and composite products manufactured therewith.

Binders

The invention provides a process for the manufacture of a toner which comprises the steps of: wherein R is a carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical which may be optionally substituted and Zis a bond or linker groupand wherein the amount of carboxy functional compound of Formula (1) provided is greater than 3% by weight, the amount of carboxy functional compound being calculated according to the following equation:  The process advantageously may produce a toner of small size and narrow particle size distribution. The present invention also provides a toner manufactured by the process.

Toner and manufacturing process therefor

The invention provides a process for the manufacture of a toner which comprises the steps of: wherein R is a carbocyclic or heterocyclic radical which may be optionally substituted and Zis a bond or linker group,on condition that the amount of carboxy functional compound of Formula (1) provided in acid and/or salt form is at least 1.5% by weight, wherein the amount of carboxy functional compound is calculated according to the following equation:  The process advantageously may produce a toner of small size and narrow particle size distribution. The present invention also provides a toner manufactured by the process.
