Disclosed herein is a starch based corrugating adhesive comprising modified starch, and methods for making such corrugating adhesive. In some embodiments, the corrugating adhesive may contain a carrier component comprising a gelatinized modified starch, and a suspended component comprising a granular modified starch. In some embodiments, the granular and gelatinized modified starch may be from the same base starch. In some embodiments, the modified starch is obtained from a starch having an amylose content between about 30% and less than 40%. Also disclosed herein are corrugated materials made using the corrugating adhesives described herein.

Present invention is related to an adhesive, a production method of a wood board using the adhesive and product thereof. The adhesive of the disclosure comprises an organic material, an inorganic material, a curing agent and a catalyst. The said adhesive is able to bond the wood material, especially recycled wood material perfectly. The wood material is not necessary to have any pretreatment like removing color, pigment or plastic lining so as to be introduced to the film process directly. After breaking and adjusting the moisture content of the wood material, it can be mixed with the adhesive of the present invention and hard pressed into wood product with good duration and quality. The adhesive and the production method of wood board provided by the present invention is able to ameliorate the problem of the conventional water based adhesive to save energy and processing time.

Provided are a moisture resistance improver that yields a water-based adhesive for inorganic materials having exceptional adhesiveness of inorganic materials, and a water-based adhesive for inorganic materials in which the moisture resistance improver is used. The present invention is a moisture resistance improver (J) for a water-based adhesive for inorganic materials containing at least one (co)polymer (A) selected from the group consisting of (co)polymer (A1) and (co)polymer (A2). (Co)polymer (A1): a (co)polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 3,000-150,000, and containing, as structural monomers, a C3-30 unsaturated (poly)carboxylic acid (anhydride) (a1) and a (meth)acrylic acid ester (a2) having solubility of 10 g or less per 100 g of water at 25° C. (Co)polymer (A2): a (co)polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 6,000-150,000, and containing the above unsaturated (poly)carboxylic acid (anhydride) (a1) as a structural monomer but not containing the above (meth)acrylic acid ester (a2) as a structural monomer.
