Abstract
The present disclosure relates to protein-starch compositions. The disclosure also relates to processes for preparing the protein-starch compositions. Further, the disclosure relates to uses of the protein-starch compositions in the preparation of adhesives or binders. Further, the disclosure relates to adhesive formulations that include protein-starch containing compositions and to paper products resulting from the processes herein.
Claims27
An adhesive or binder composition comprising from about 40% to about 75% of a plant-based protein on a dry-weight basis and from about 25% to about 60% of a starch on a dry weight basis, wherein the starch comprises a dextrin.
An adhesive or binder composition comprising from about 40% to about 75% of a seed-based protein on a dry weight basis and from about 25% to about 60% of a seed-based starch on a dry weight basis;
- and wherein the adhesive or binder composition is a plaster, a joint compound, a sealant, a corrugating glue, a laminating adhesive, a wood glue, a plywood adhesive, a strand board adhesive, a wall board adhesive, a ceiling tile binder, a particle board binder, a paper coating binder, a paint binder, or a foundry binder.
A process for producing an adhesive or binder composition comprising mixing from about 40% to about 75% of a plant protein on a dry, weight basis and from about 25% to about 60% of a starch on a dry weight basis, wherein the starch comprises a dextrin.
An adhesive or binder composition comprising from about 40% to about 75% of a plant-based protein on a dry weight basis and from about 25% to about 60% of a starch on a dry weight basis, wherein the starch comprises a dextrin;
- and wherein the adhesive or binder composition has a breaking force ranging from about 1.84 to 4.34 in-oz.
