Abstract
Abstract A proteinaceous adhesive composition in which a dry mix comprised of protein, solubilizing agents and fillers is added to water containing furfuryl alcohol at the time of use. The adhesive composition is especially useful in joining untreated and fire-retardant-treated porous substrates to fire-retardant-treated porous substrates and provides advantages of improved bond strength and increased assembly time.
