Xuegong Alkali-Free Adhesive Formulation System

Xuegong's alkali-free adhesive formulation system represents a fundamental advancement in corrugating adhesive technology. By eliminating caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) from the adhesive formula, we have created products that are safer, more stable, and better performing than traditional alkaline adhesives.

The development of our alkali-free system required overcoming significant technical challenges. Caustic soda has traditionally been used in starch adhesives because it helps gelatinize the starch and improves initial tack. Our R&D team spent years developing alternative chemistries that provide these benefits without the drawbacks of alkaline formulations.

Benefits of Alkali-Free Technology

1. Improved Safety: Eliminating caustic soda removes a significant workplace hazard. Workers no longer need to handle dangerous alkaline materials.

2. Reduced Equipment Corrosion: Alkaline adhesives are corrosive to metal equipment. Alkali-free formulations extend equipment life and reduce maintenance costs.

3. Better Storage Stability: Alkali-free adhesives have longer pot life and better storage stability, reducing waste.

4. Environmental Benefits: Manufacturing and disposal of alkali-free adhesives has lower environmental impact.

Our alkali-free adhesive series includes laminating adhesive, core adhesive, and facing adhesive formulations, providing complete coverage for all corrugated board production needs.
