Production of sugarcane Bagasse Cellulose- Based Wallpaper Adhesive

The production of adhesive from sugar cane bagasse was performed in this study. Application of starch based adhesive is limited due to their unsuitable properties. Improvement in properties of carbohydrates- based adhesive was achieved by replacement of starch with hydrolysed cellulose which was produced from sugar cane bagasse hydrolysis process. The most important properties of carbohydrates- based adhesive were the viscosity, density, drying time and the bond strength. Results of this experiments showed that there are the wide varieties of conditions for producing hydrolysed cellulose- based adhesive for diverse application and required properties. The adhesives produced with hydrolysed sugar cane bagasse had the strongest bond at the drying time 15 minutes comparing to the same concentrations of the two best commercial wallpaper adhesives exist in the Iranian market.
