TamanorL [Ardcawa] Adhesive for paperboard and gummed tape. 

Prodncts and Uses Applications include gummed tape, cartons, blueprint paper, and printing plates. A ton of skins yields about 50 gallons of liquid glue and adhesive. 

Because of the need to remove water, most applications for aqueous adhesives are with materials that would allow transmission of water vapor. Hence the major uses are with paper, wood and fabric, either as binders or laminating adhesives. Typical applications of emulsion adhesives include the following remoistenable gummed tape, tube winding, box manufacture, plywood manufacture, woodworking, bookbinding, abrasives manufacture, and as textile adhesives. 

Dextrins have many applications, with adhesives being their primary market (11,96). Dextrins are used as adhesives for case and carton sealing. For this application, borax is often added to the dextrin to add stability and increase viscosity. Dextrins are added to adhesives used in the laminating of products such as paperboard and shipping containers. The paper industry adds dextrins in adhesives for tube winding and bag adhesives. Library pastes, bottle label adhesives, envelop adhesives, gummed tape, and wall covering adhesives all benefit fiom dextrin addition. 

Animal glue is the primary adhesive component in gummed tapes used in sealing commercial solid fiber and corrugated shipping uses, as well as the more common lightweight t rpes used in retail packaging. ... 

The reversible uptake and release of water by glutins has advantages and disadvantages. The possibility of activating layers of glue jellies by moistening is utilized, for example, in the production of moistenable gum tapes [40]. 

Burnett and others (37,41,42) have prepared water-soluble glues from peanut protein isolated from defatted peanut meal. The glues are re-wettable, flexible, and nonwarping and are suitable for making gummed tape and paper. 

Both low test hide glue and bone glue have played an important role in the manufacture of gummed tape. Glue has to a certain extent been replaced by dextrin or combined with dextrin... 

In the manufacture of gummed tape, large rolls of paper are fed through a glue applicator, where the adhesive at a temperature of 140-145°F is applied by the use of pick-up rolls. The tape is passed under tension over drying rolls or through a drying tunnel, then stored as jumbo rolls until slit and cut into standard sizes for the trade. 

The use of an oxidized starch acetate 180, urea 20, and water 200 as a gummed tape adhesive has been patented. The formulation of an acrylamide starch graft polymer is also claimed hydrolyzed low viscosity acrylamide-starch graft copolymer 67, canary dextrin 20, animal glue 10, urea 10, petrolatum 0.25, and sodium hexametaphosphate 0.1, are heated for 30 minutes at 185-205 F (85-96 C). ...
