Corrugating glue-kitchen checklist for export plants: mixing controls, viscosity checks, water quality, storage, batch records, and RFQ fields that keep board bond stable.

Quick answer

A usable glue-kitchen spec covers mix recipe, water quality, viscosity check method, temperature, storage, and batch records. Buying “good starch” without kitchen controls recreates delamination under humid export seasons.

Freeze the recipe card

Document starch type, additives, mix order, solids target, and any alkali/borax limits. Version the card when seasons or board mixes change.

Control measurement

Set viscosity method, check frequency, and corrective actions when values drift. Record kitchen temperature and application temperature separately if they differ.

Manage water and storage

State water quality expectations, powder storage humidity, and FIFO rules. Contaminated or aged starch is a common hidden cause of unstable gel behavior.

Link kitchen to machine

Define how kitchen batches are released to the corrugator, what retention samples are kept, and who can authorize a formula change during a run.
