Abstract: In this study, waterborne polyamide(PA236) was synthesized using adipic acid and diethylene triamine. Then, the modified PA236 was obtained by grafting waterborne epoxy resin onto PA236G. Finally, after adding a certain amount of hydroxyethyl cellulose and waterborne curing agent 906 to the PA26G, the waterborne adhesive CA514 was obtained. The structure and relative molecular weight of PA236 and PA236G were characterized by FT-IR, NMR and GPC. The results confirmed the successful synthesis of the PA236 and the grafting of waterborne epoxy. TG analysis was used to determine the thermal properties of these two products, indicating that they could be used as the raw materials for creping adhesive. The properties of the film formed by CA514 were tested. The results showed that the film formed by drying CA514 had similar properties to those of the commercial products, while it has better water resistance with an average swelling degree of 188.3%. The mechanical tests showed that the average shear strength of CA514 could reach 0.122 MPa, which was about twice as that of commercial products, and the CA514 adhesion of substrate was 136.55 N, which was about 1.4 times than that of commercial products. The result indicated that CA514 had the potential to be used as cylinder adhesive.
