Soybeans can increase strength of plywood manufacturing glue. We all realize that plywood is made of sheets with glue between. Well ever wonder what that glue is made from. No it is not dead race horses. Well go ahead and read this first and then we can continue this discussion. http://www.veneernet.com/plywood.html and http://sres.anu.edu.au/associated/fpt/plywood/glueing.html and http://www.adhesives.co.nz/page002.asp ..... Okay then you see the process and understand the problems associated with manufacturing safety isses. Also the plywood which uses cattle blood protiens can be expensive and it is good not to waste any of the cow. When the cows go to slaughter they are killed and hun upside down while the blood runs out and then hoisted away for processing, the blood is used. But it is hard to ship, dangerous in that it contains things that all blood contains and makes it a little bit of a problem. For instance the EPA is concerned about these issues as well as OSHA: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/ap42/ch10/final/c10s05.pdf Three glues contain soy flour, a combo of starch and soy protien. These were all found to be as strong as the glues made from blood protien glue. Good thing Jeffrey Domler never knew about this he might have glued his refrigerator shut and we may never have captured him? What is interesting is that the soy protien has similar foaming characteristics to increase the strength and lower the weight and amount of material used. Imagine if the Japanese knew about this during WWII with the plywood built torpedo bombers and Japanese fighters, they might have been able ot achieve higher performance. Wooden craft which are strong often have a smaller radar signature than to metal or metallic alloys. This could also be good for personell landing craft for beach assaults which are made of wood. If you can get a glue product to foam you can more narrowly direct its application and therefore have beeter control in manufacturing and thus be able direct it by robotic methods. You could even make a glue bomb which would send glue to a surface where your enemy would be stopped in their tracks and could not move without taking off thier shoes and then their feet would be glued too. Thus you have immobilized your enemy and he cannot fight you. You can later pick him up out of his shoes when you have time to after you have had them surrender and have won the battle? Remember foam is 5% material and the rest 95% is air or gas and therefore light weight compared to its volume. It would be great for border patrolling, using a non-drying or curing formulas. These glues work as good or better than other glues and are cheaper to make, transport and safer to manufacture and use. It could also help home builders lower costs and use more glue and less nails and other means of fastening. Glue is a huge industry especially specialty glues, for manufacturing. If you look at glues at Home Depot you will see about 20 different types all of which you cannot sniff, perhaps it is safer for kids too? This might upset those glue sniffing junkies? HA HA HA. But truly understanding the alturnative uses for Soy, corn and other crops we can use our technology to help our farmers grow crops without having to compete on the world market for food prices while having to comply with all the rules that farmers and small business men are hit with everyday. By studying the flows and needs we can stay bleeding edge without the blood protien glues; http://www.bts.gov/programs/cfs/sctg/pdf/SCTG5D97.pdf . Of course the industry Associations are not letting up on the technological study either. Seems mankind is getting much better much faster and using resources in a way which makes sense: http://www.ext.vt.edu/pubs/foods/348-040/348-040.html ------ Why is this of interest to WashGuys. Because often our customers ask for assistance in maintaining their decks after we wash them. http://www.DeckWashGuys.com . Wow this is facinating and there are so many uses to it. If you think of something else not covered here in the Soy Protien Glue Innovations, email me at: Lance@carwashguys.com
