Topic: looking for a biodegradable liquid

Anonymous A started this discussion 14 years ago #16,749

My friend and I are starting this new company. One of the ingredients we need to complete our product is a sticky biodegradable clear solution. We are pouring this liquid onto something and sticking a course material to it. I know this sounds lame, but i cant give away the product at this point. We were trying to stick away from sugars, as this can lead to pests. Any /chemists online? Someone please list some clear biodegradable solutions... And dont say cum.

What isn't ideal about corn syrup in your application?

Well i'm worried about the fructose attracting insects or animals. This application will be used outdoors near the home.

Most biodegradable liquids are going to attract insects and animals, especially insects when they start to biodegrade. Why does it need to be biodegradable?

Buy or make an adhesive solution with egg whites perhaps? Scrapbooking and papercraft forums mention several adhesives (Crystal Effects and Diamond Glaze) that might work for you. They are both water soluble, so I assume they break down pretty easily. But you might have to call the companies to see if the ingredients are biodegradable.

Very true, thanks for the input.

@286,438 (E)
Glue is also another option we had. (make your own mixture).

Went on this chemical form, waiting for replies but they recommended using natural resins, waxes or gums

Does it need to be an adhesive or just a sticky liquid? And why biodegradable?

Why don't you use the sticky as hell resin from some trees. If I remember well, when you scraped a cherry trees crust (is it called crust on a tree?) the resin that came out made my hands sticky and it was hard to get off.

I hope you're trolling and know that it's actually called sap and bark.

Not even trollin' first time in my life I discuss plants in the english language. I'm sorry I know the terms for that in only 3 languages without English being one of them :(

Sorry, I didn't realize English wasn't your first language. Anyway, now you've learned that the "resin" is called sap and "bark" is what's on the outside of a tree.
