The invention relates to the technical field of adhesives, and discloses a soybean-based
formaldehyde-free
adhesive and a preparation method thereof. The
adhesive prepared by the invention is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 30 to 40 parts of
soybean protein powder, 5 to 10 parts of
starch, 80 to 120 parts of deionized water, 3 to 8 parts of modified cross-linking agent, 2 to 5 parts of reinforcing filler, 2 to 6 parts of
sodium hydroxide and 0.5 to 1.5 parts of defoaming agent,
soybean protein powder is adopted as an
aldehyde-
free base material, a modified cross-linking agent, reinforcing filler and other auxiliaries are added, and the
adhesive is endowed with excellent
bonding strength,
water resistance, antibacterial performance,
flame retardance and the like. Wherein a large number of
epoxy groups are introduced into the modified cross-linking agent and can react with active groups in
soybean protein, so that the cross-linking density of the adhesive is improved, and the
bonding strength,
water resistance,
flame retardance and the like of the adhesive are further improved; and the reinforcing filler improves the
toughness of the matrix through physical filling, and endows the matrix with certain
antibacterial property.
