  • Additive for a starch adhesive composition
    Patent number: 10017671
    Abstract: The present invention is a combination of sodium hydroxide, borax, boric acid and potassium hydroxide forming a liquid that can be added to pearl starch and water in a single step to form an adhesive with proper viscosity, gel point and tack for manufacturing corrugated paperboard. This combination eliminates the danger associated with handling the sodium hydroxide independently, as the borax, boric acid, and potassium hydroxide act to buffer the sodium hydroxide to reduce exposure risks. The additive comprises by weight: a) from about 40% to about 85% sodium hydroxide; b) from about 10% to about 30% borax; c) up to about 25% boric acid; and, d) up to about 25% potassium hydroxide.
