Borax Decahydrate

A borax-based starch adhesive is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of high-performance adhesives. Borax helps ensure high densification speed and achieve optimal viscosity, which contributes to the speed of bonding and enhances fluid properties. If an adhesive does not contain borax, manufacturing processes may encounter major problems such as production downtime, equipment failures, and unsatisfactory products.

In addition, insufficient boron levels may result in a weak or insufficiently soluble adhesive, causing damage to the surface material.

Borax is commonly used in the cellulose and paper industry, such as corrugated cardboard boxes and paper bags, to ensure an effective and reliable adhesive.

Borax enhances viscosity properties and increases densification speed, which helps achieve strong adhesion, especially in products that require resistance to high pressure such as cardboard boxes and treated paper. Borax is combined in proportions of 10-15% with starch or dextrin to ensure optimal adhesive properties.
The distinctive properties of this type of adhesive include reduced foaming, resistance to deformation, and the ability to bond quickly without affecting the quality of the final product. This ensures that the manufacturing process continues efficiently and without problems.
