Abstract
Abstract This disclosure relates to an adhesive composition for use in the manufacture of corrugated board and its preparation. The adhesive is prepared by using a thin boiling or modified waxy variety starch of fluidity of 25 or greater as a component in the gelatinized carrier portion of the adhesive. This produces a high solids carrier which results in a final adhesive of good stability whose use enables corrugated board to be produced at faster than normal rates. This adhesive is particularly useful to increase production rates of heavy weight and multiwall board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
64 words
A method of making multiwall thickness corrugated board at high speeds comprising the steps of a. preparing an adhesive mix having modified waxy starch in the carrier portion, said starch having a fluidity of about 25 to about 90 mls, b. applying said mix to a corrugator, and c. forming a multiwall board on said corrugator at a higher than normal rate of speed.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
64 words
A method of making multiwall thickness corrugated board at high speeds comprising the steps of a. preparing an adhesive mix having modified waxy starch in the carrier portion, said starch having a fluidity of about 25 to about 90 mls, b. applying said mix to a corrugator, and c. forming a multiwall board on said corrugator at a higher than normal rate of speed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the waxy starch constitutes about 25% to 100% of the starch in the carrier portion.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
108 words
A method of making multiwall thickness corrugated board at high speeds comprising the steps of I. preparing an adhesive mix comprising a. 3 to 12% gelatinized starch solids of which 25 to 100% is waxy starch modified to increase the fluidity thereof to the range of 25 to about 90 mlls measured at 25° C., b. 10 to 35% raw starch solids, c. 0.1 to 1.0% NaOH, and d. 60 to 86.9% water, said percent being by weight based on the final adhesive mix, Ii. applying said mix to a corrugator, and Iii. forming a multiwall board on said corrugator at a higher than normal rate of speed.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
108 words
A method of making multiwall thickness corrugated board at high speeds comprising the steps of I. preparing an adhesive mix comprising a. 3 to 12% gelatinized starch solids of which 25 to 100% is waxy starch modified to increase the fluidity thereof to the range of 25 to about 90 mlls measured at 25° C., b. 10 to 35% raw starch solids, c. 0.1 to 1.0% NaOH, and d. 60 to 86.9% water, said percent being by weight based on the final adhesive mix, Ii. applying said mix to a corrugator, and Iii. forming a multiwall board on said corrugator at a higher than normal rate of speed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
68 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the amount of gelatinized starch solids is such as to provide an increased amount of cooked starch solids as compared with conventional corrugating adhesives, the viscosity of said adhesive being 16 to 120 seconds on the brass cup at 105° F., and the waxy starch being modified to allow said increased amount of cooked solids while retaining the viscosity of the adhesive.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 3 in which 0.1 to 1.0% borax is present.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
13 words
The composition of claim 3 having 10 to 40% total solids by weight.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
The composition of claim 3 wherein the waxy starch has a solubility of 0.1 to 100% at 77° F., a viscosity of 0.2 to 2 deciliter/gram at 0.5% concentration and 77° F.
