Abstract

Adhesives play a fundamental role in many modern technologies, and adhesive failure can have catastrophic consequences. It is, therefore, valuable to understand the factors important for the production of a good durable adhesive bond. The additives are also used to enrich the properties. The objective of this paper is to increase the drying speed of the starch adhesive by adding suitable additives and thereby increasing the production speed of corrugated board manufacturing. The other functional additives that could be incorporated in minor amounts for better drying speed are studied and selected. Their properties such as drying speed, strength, viscosity and pH are tested. The results from the tests are compared and the best additive for fast drying is selected.
