Fast bonding, strong board: potato starch adhesives in corrugated board production

Corrugated board production places high demands on adhesive performance. In high-speed corrugators, bonding has to happen fast, viscosity needs to remain stable and the adhesive must perform consistently across single and double wall applications. When adhesion is inconsistent, producers risk reduced board quality, lower line efficiency and more waste. Avebe’s potato starch-based adhesive solutions offer a natural way to meet these requirements, combining strong bonding performance with the reliability needed for fast-moving corrugated board production.

The strength comes from the natural properties of potato starch. Its high molecular weight and high amylopectin content support strong, consistent adhesion, while low residual salt levels help deliver stable performance compared with corn or wheat starch. This makes Avebe’s solutions suitable for corrugated applications where fast bonding, strong fibre adhesion and process control are essential. For corrugated board producers, potato starch offers a biodegradable adhesive route that supports both production efficiency and board strength, from formulation to finished sheet.
