  • Process of using starch based corrugating adhesives
    Patent number: 4978411
    Abstract: This invention presents starch-based alkaline corrugating adhesives having improved green bond strength due to the use of undried starch as the raw starch component in the adhesive. Such adhesives can be used in corrugation processes at much higher corrugator running speeds than the conventionally employed adhesives.
