Abstract: A starch-based corrugating adhesive providing a controlled rate of viscosity increase and green bond formation comprising water, starch, caustic alkali, an active boron source, and polyvinyl alcohol having an intermediate degree of hydrolysis (about 92% to 98%), wherein the polyvinyl alcohol constituent imparts a definite increase in the rate of viscosity building of the adhesive, the rate of viscosity increase being controlled to provide an effective green bond and final adhesive bond on a corrugated board surface.

Abstract: An aqueous starch-based adhesive comprising: (a) water; (b) corn starch or wheat starch; (c) a carboxylated styrene-butadiene latex; (d) a thickener; and (e) a crosslinking agent. The thickener and cross-linking agent are collectively present as a minor component. A preferred thickener is a mixture of hydroxyethylcellulose and ammonia and the preferred crosslinking agent is a mixture of a ureaformaldehyde resin and glyoxal. The adhesive has a solids content of between about 35 and about 50 weight percent and pH ranging from about 4.5 to 7.0. The aqueous adhesive can be used to provide corrugated paperboard at rates ranging from 300 to 550 linear feet/minute and has a stable pot life of up to one week. It results in little or no corrosion to corrugating equipment and can be used in the same application and storage systems with conventional starch adhesives. Preparation of the adhesive is simplified because it need not be heated.

Abstract: An improved wax-coated paper is produced by coating a paper or paperboard substrate with a mixture of (A) a fluorinated organic phosphate compound; and (B) a poly(oxypropylene)poly(oxyethylene) block copolymer surfactant. The coated paper is thereafter impregnated with wax. Wax penetration into the paper surface layer is eliminated to provide a more economical product of improved appearance.
