A Study of Corrugated Fiberboard: The Effect of Adhesive on the Strength of Corrugated Board by D.W. McCready and D.L. Katz, investigates how various adhesives influence the structural integrity of corrugated fiberboard. The research emphasizes the strength requirements for packaging materials, focusing on how adhesives contribute to the overall durability of corrugated boards and boxes. Experimental procedures included fabricating sample boards and boxes under controlled conditions and subjecting them to multiple strength tests—such as transverse beam, column compression, flat compression, Mullen, bond strength, and paperboard compression tests. Six types of boards were fabricated using different adhesives (silicate, silicate-clay, and starch), applied in normal and heavy amounts. Results indicated that boards with silicate adhesives generally exhibited superior structural strength over those with starch adhesives, especially when heavy applications were used. Furthermore, the study provided theoretical insights, correlating the stiffness of the fiberboard (modulus of elasticity) with box compression strength, concluding that proper adhesive selection significantly enhances the performance of corrugated packaging.
