Abstract
Abstract An adhesive composition comprising (in percent by weight) from about 0.05 to about 0.50% of sodium silicate, from about 10 to about 47% of dextrin, from about 17 to about 70% of an alkali metal silicate, from about 0.05 to about 0.50% of sodium metaborate octahydrate or sodium metaborate tetrahydrate, and from about 18.0 to about 62.0% water and a process for preparing the same. The adhesive composition is useful in the manufacture of paper products, such as, paper tubes, corrugated boards and corner boards.
