Problems solved by technology

Such a method, if used in the present invention, would result in very high viscosity and low solids as a result of an excessive alkali denaturation step; making it impractical to use this adhesive for PB, MDF or OSB applications

Embodiment 1

[0067] Example 1: Several soy-diluent systems were prepared using various diluent types and amounts and varying total solids and final pH.

[0068] Standard preparative procedure: Add water and non-urea diluent to a round bottom flask. Sodium bisulfite was then added to the dry soybean flour at a concentration of 1%. Soy flour is then added over 1-5 minutes while stirring rapidly. The mixture was stirred for 15-30 minutes. The pH was then adjusted to the desired endpoint by dropwise addition of 50% sulfuric acid. Table 1 below shows the characteristics of these specific examples.

[0071]

[0072] Note: G=glycerin, EG=ethylene glycol, PPG=propylene glycol, PEG=polyethylene glycol

[0073] The results in Table 1 demonstrate the versatility of the invention to produce high solids, low viscosity adhesives over a wide range of diluent types and concentrations.

Embodiment 2

[0074] Example 2 - Mixing with pMDI:

[0075] Several basic resins described in Example 1 and pMDI (Rubunate TM FC3345) to evaluate the effect on both the binding performance (measured by the ABES method) and on the physical properties. The non-urea diluents chosen were glycerin (G), ethylene glycol (EG) and PEG-8000MW (PEG). Mix briefly in a beaker or round bottom flask for 5 minutes prior to evaluation. The overall mixture is homogeneous and easy to handle. The characteristics of these mixtures are shown in Table 2.

[0076] The dry and wet strengths of the adhesives described in Table 2 were evaluated using the ABES method. These results are presented in Table 3 and figure 1 and 2 middle.

Embodiment 3

[0082] Example 3: Soybean Mixed with pMDI: Viscosity and Viscosity Stability of Diluent (S:G=1:1) (pH<5)

[0083] A notable feature of the present invention is that it not only enables the production of high solids and low viscosity resins, but also adhesive formulations which exhibit significantly improved viscosity stability over the prior art.

Abstract

The present invention provides an improved composition of soy with a non-urea diluent at a pH of less than 5.0, having improved viscosity stability with excellent wet and dry strengths, with more efficient production and lower production costs. Optionally, the composition may also include adding a crosslinking agent, additional diluent or both to the soy-non urea diluent adhesive and / or adding an emulsified or dispersed polymer.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. US61 / 443841 filed February 17, 2012, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. field of invention [0002] The present invention provides compositions and methods of making adhesives by combining a non-urea based diluent with soy flour and lowering the pH to less than 5. Background of the invention [0003] Adhesives derived from protein-containing soy flour first came into general use in the 1920s (see eg US Patents 1813387, 1724695 and 1994050). Soy flour suitable for use in adhesives was and still is obtained by removing some or most of the oil from the soybeans, resulting in a residual soy meal which is subsequently ground into a very fine soy flour. Typically, hexane is used to extract most of the non-polar oils from crushed soybeans, although extrusion / extraction methods are also suitable means of oil removal. [0004] The soy flour formed is then typically denatured (i....
