The invention relates to aqueous starch-based adhesive compositions and their use. An aqueous adhesive composition containing highly branched starch (IBS), obtained by treating starch or starch derivatives with glycogen-branching enzyme, and additionally containing a carboxymethyl (KM) derived polysaccharide, such as simple carboxymethyl starch, cellulose, or a combination thereof, is proposed. A method is also proposed for gluing a first substrate to a second substrate, comprising applying at least to said first substrate or said second substrate of said starch-based adhesive, as well as the product thus glued or made with the possibility of gluing. |
