Abstract
Adhesives prepared by dissolving polyvinyl alcohol, a filler and a water-soluble boron compound in water are described. These adhesives are "cold-set" adhesives which are liquid at a temperature of 60.degree. C. or more, but lose their fluidity to gelatinize on cooling at a temperature higher than 20.degree. C., they are very useful for a cold corrugation system.
Claims13
A cold-set adhesive for paper having a viscosity of from about 100 to 2,000 centipoises at 60.degree. C. and which gelatinizes upon cooling at a temperature higher than 20.degree. C. and consisting essentially of polyvinyl alcohol, a filler which exhibits alkalinity in an aqueous dispersion, a water-soluble boron compound, and water, the mixing ratio by weight of polyvinyl alcohol to filler being from about 20/80 to 70/30 and the amount of the water-soluble boron compound being from about 0.2 to 4 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl alcohol plus filler.
An adhesive according to claim 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14 wherein the amount of the water-soluble boron compound is from 0.3 to 2 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polyvinyl alcohol and filler.
