Method for manufacturing an adhesive compound for use in the production of corrugated paperboard

摘要

A method of manufacturing an adhesive composition for use in the production of paperboard is provided. An amount of water contained within a source container is provided. The water is heated to a first temperature. A rheology modifier is added to the heated water to create a heated solution. A starch is added to the heated solution. The heated solution is mixed for a first period of time to create a heated mixture. Additionally, there may be more independent time segments determining an amount of time which the components of the heated solution are mixed or blended together. Additional elements of the adhesive composition are added to the heated mixture between each mixing time segment.

1. A method of manufacturing an adhesive compound, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a first amount of water; heating the water to a first temperature; adding a rheology modifier to the heated water to create a heated solution, wherein the rheology modifier is a water-soluble polymer material; adding a first starch to the heated solution; adding a caustic to the heated solution; mixing the heated solution for a first period of time to create a heated mixture; adding a first borate to the heated mixture; and mixing the heated mixture for a second period of time; adding a second amount of water to the heated mixture, the second amount of water is from about 135% to about 150% of the first amount of water; re-heating the heated mixture to a second temperature, wherein the second temperature is a range from about 90° F. to about 100° F.; flushing the heated mixture with an amount of flush water, the amount of flush water is from about 14% to about 18% of the second amount of water; adding a second borate, the second borate is from about 50% to about 100% of the amount of the first borate; adding a second starch, the second starch is from about 450% to about 650% of the amount of the first starch; and mixing the heated mixture for a third period of time.
