Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A binder based predominantly on molasses which incorporates both polymeric and monomeric polycarboxylic acid components to form a composite including both melanoidin and polyester polymeric structures. The binder incorporates the chemical profile of molasses with a mixture of polycarboxylic acids which combines to form a strong and weatherable binder composition which may be used to bind loosely or non-assembled matter.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of binding loosely or non-assembled matter comprising: providing an aqueous binder comprising carbohydrates having a dextrose equivalent of about 5 to about 100, a monomeric polycarboxylic acid, and a polymeric polycarboxylic acid; disposing the aqueous binder on a collection of matter; and drying the aqueous binder to form an uncured binder and thermally curing the uncured binder to form the collection of matter bound with a cured, therm…
