Abstract
Abstract Corrugated fiberboard which resists deterioration in strength when in the presence of moisture or water, and which has improved folding endurance. Such board is made by preliminarily treating medium and, optionally, liner members with a mixture of phenolaldehyde resole resin and polyvinyl alcohol (and/or polyvinyl acetate and/or partially hydrolyzed such materials) and thereafter fabricating corrugated fiberboard from the so-treated members using a waterproof adhesive system containing polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, and/or phenol-aldehyde resin.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
204 words
from about 5 to 75 weight percent of at least one polyvinyl polymer selected from the group consisting of: polyvinyl acetate, partially hydrolyzed derivatives of polyvinyl acetate, and substantially fully hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol, and each such polyvinyl polymer being further characterized by having a molecular weight such that an aqueous solution or colloidal dispersion (including latices, emulsions, etc.) thereof can be prepared initially which, at a polymer concentration of about 4 weight percent, has a viscosity of from about 5 to 125 cps., C. as a liner, a cellulosic sheet member having a thickness of from about 5 to 20 thousandths of an inch and having a basis weight of from about 33 to 120 pounds per 1,000 sq. ft., D. as a bonding composition, a water-resistant adhesive system employing at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of said phenol-aldehyde resole resin systems, and said polyvinyl polymers, E. said corrugated medium sheet member being positioned adjacent said liner sheet member and being bonded thereto at positions of mutual contact therebetween by said bonding composition, and F. such resulting construction having been subjected to a temperature of from about 160* to 235* C. for times of from about 0.5 seconds to 5 minutes.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
22 words
A construction of claim 1 which has been subjected to temperatures and times sufficient to substantially completely thermoset said phenol-aldehyde resin systems.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
12 words
A box blank prepared from a corRugated fiberboard construction of claim 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
