Development of rice starch based adhesive

Abstract

Starch solutions are said to be pseudo thermoplastic in nature. Hydrolysis & gelatinization could add an adhesion character to such pseudo thermoplastic starch emulsions making them widely used in the adhesive industry. For an adhesive to be effective, it should possess high bond strength, tack development, viscosity stability, cost effectiveness; low energy consumption etc. “Stein hair type of adhesives having two starch portions is the most preferred method in corrugating adhesive production. Under this, chemically cooked/carrier starch portion is mixed with uncooked/raw portion at the time of using
