Fusion
Cross-linking
for Starch Adhesives on Corrugators
Use native starches, reduce carrier and total starch consumption, stabilize viscosity after standstill, and protect board quality at speed.
Why choose Fusion ?
Lower adhesive cost: Switch to native starch and reduce overall starch usage.
Line performance: Stable viscosity and lower gelling temperature help maintain speed, glueability, and warp control.
Board quality: Support ECT and bonding consistency across paper grades.
Simpler kitchen: No pre-cook for carrier replacement; works in standard glue kitchens.
Sustainability: Less starch, potential energy savings, and fewer restarts/waste.
What you can achieve
Adopt native starch (corn/wheat/tapioca) without sacrificing quality.
Reduce or replace carrier in the recipe with Fusion.
Cut total starch consumption vs. today’s formulation.
Keep viscosity stable after standstill/weekends to avoid costly line ramp-ups.
INNOVATION POWERED BY EXCELLENCE
for the Corrugated Board Industry
The implementation of Fusion is remarkably simple, seamlessly integrating into existing adhesive formulations regardless of the type of starch used, with minimal to no modifications required within the starch preparation process.
The two essential components are conveniently provided in liquid form and administered using a precise dosing pump. Notably, the Fusion solution can be dispensed directly from Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), eliminating the need for prior mixing, extensive preparations, or dilutions.
Overall, Fusion represents a groundbreaking approach to adhesive development, leveraging cross-linking to enhance the performance and stability of starch-based glues. Its user-friendly implementation process offers versatility and efficiency across various industrial applications.
