Abstract
An aqueous acidic adhesive composition is described comprising starch, polyvinylacetate, a copolymer of vinylacetate and ethylene and, optionally, a water-resistant thermosetting resin such as urea-formaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde. The adhesive is particularly useful as a corrugator adhesive in the preparation of corrugated paperboard which requires a high wet bond strength. Because of its excellent 'green bond' characteristics, the corrugators can be run at high speeds to produce a product having acceptable wet bond strengths with the important additional advantages that the bond is strong, tough and flexible.
