Adhesives
Adhesive starch with high tack and fast set
Corrugators and laminators need a glue that grabs quickly and sets before the sheet leaves the machine. Tapioca starch delivers high tack at modest solids, and pregelatinized grades let the glue kitchen work without a cooker at all.
The challenge
What adhesives manufacturers ask us to solve
Slow set at high line speed
Weak green bond causes warp and delamination on the stacker.
Energy and maintenance in the glue kitchen
Cooking equipment adds steam demand and downtime.
Viscosity drift in the mix tank
Glue that thickens through the shift changes application weight.
Our solution
How PREGEL WORLD responds
We supply grades matched to your carrier-to-raw ratio and line speed, with a controlled viscosity band so the mix behaves the same at the start and end of the shift.
High tack and fast green bond
No cooking stage with pregelatinized grades
Stable viscosity through the shift
Biodegradable, plant-derived adhesive base
Recommended grades

Questions
Adhesives starch — common questions
Can starch adhesive be prepared without cooking?
Yes. Pregelatinized tapioca starch is already cooked and dried, so it hydrates in cold water and reaches working viscosity in the mix tank.
Is the adhesive suitable for food-contact packaging board?
The starch itself is a food-grade plant material; suitability for the finished pack depends on your full adhesive formulation and local regulation.
