A process employing a mixture of a binding agent and an aqueous solution of a wet-tack lubricant to manufacture an insoluble product from particulate material comprising admixing the particulate material with the mixture to obtain a free-water containing binding agent, lubricant and particulate admixture and then coalescing the admixture to manufacture the insoluble product .The product can be produced by a coalescing machine such as a briquetting machine. A disclosed wet-tack lubricant is polyethylene oxide. The particulate can be finely-divided and chemically-inert mineral, metals, carboniferous and lignocelluloses materials and the binding agent is a bio-based composition of a suitable grade of polyvinyl alcohol. The protein-rich material can be a dairy byproduct or soy, gluten, or leguminous isolate concentrate, or flour.
