Manufacturing Process

Water Phase

  1. Heat water to 75°C and maintain temperature.
  2. Dissolve cellulose gum fully by stirring at 300 RPM for 20 minutes.
  3. Add corn syrup, continue stirring for 10 minutes until homogeneous.

Mixing Phase

  1. At 60°C, slowly add tannin extract while maintaining stirring speed.
  2. Incorporate glycerin followed by xanthan gum to improve viscosity.
  3. Maintain stirring until a uniform blend is achieved.

Final Processing

  1. Bring mixture to 45°C, add sodium benzoate as a preservative.
  2. Cool down to room temperature while performing quality control checks ensuring pH and viscosity stay within target parameters.

Usage Instructions

Apply a thin layer on one surface, press pieces together for 30 minutes. Full bond strength reaches within 24 hours under room conditions.
