USE OF SYNTHETIC ADHESIVES FOR PRODUCING CORRUGATED CARDBOARD

摘要

The invention relates to the use of synthetic adhesives for producing corrugated cardboard at relatively low temperatures and high web speeds. The corrugated cardboard comprises a corrugated paper web and a smooth cover web, and the corrugation of the corrugated paper web is generated at paper temperatures lower than 95ºC and at a web speed greater than 150 m/min. Immediately after the corrugation of the corrugated paper web has been generated, a preferably unheated corrugation adhesive is applied in a continuous process and the corrugated paper web is glued to the at least one first cover web. The corrugation adhesive used is an aqueous adhesive dispersion on the basis of at least one synthetic, dispersed polymer having preferably a solids content of more than 40 wt %, selected from acrylate copolymers, copolymers from vinylaromatic compounds and conjugated aliphatic dienes and vinyl acetate/alkylene copolymers, wherein the glass transition temperatures of the polymers are higher than 20ºC and below the surface temperature of the corrugated paper web (preferably by at least 50ºC) to which they are applied.
