Starch adhesives are used in various industries, especially in packaging and corrugating processes. However, the natural properties of starch—while advantageous in terms of biodegradability and renewability—also pose certain limitations, such as sensitivity to moisture and limited adhesive strength. To counter these challenges, various additives are incorporated to bolster the performance of starch adhesives. This article
Starch corrugating adhesives and additives are vital in the paper and packaging industry, offering sustainable, efficient solutions for bonding corrugated cardboard. Their unique properties, environmental benefits, and adaptability make them essential for modern manufacturing processes. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the top 10 frequently asked questions about these adhesives, shedding light on their functionality,
After you’ve mixed your dry blended adhesive with water, you still need to heat it to the correct temperature before you apply it. All of the dry blend adhesives we supply, from PVOH to starch-based to gelatin-based, need to be heated to some degree for the best results. Why is this temperature so critical, and
At Bond Tech, we offer three main kinds of adhesives to fit a huge range of bonding needs in many industries. Adhesives can be used for so many things that you may struggle to find information about exactly which type you should use, and how the different kinds of adhesives compare to one another. Here,
Manufacturers must closely control the working temperature ranges of adhesives to ensure proper viscosity, adhesion, set speed, open time and curing. Poor temperature control creates problems that reduce adhesive performance, increase manufacturing costs and dissatisfied consumers of the end product. Each class of adhesive exhibits its unique thermal characteristics. Water-based Adhesives Adhesives in which the
