Target Application:
Designed primarily for use in paper laminations where a high viscosity material is required to prevent the adhesive from diving into the paper substrate. This system can be used for paper/film and paper/foil packaging laminations. The cured adhesive will provide good heat resistance, heat seal and bond strength.
Other Applications:This adhesive also can be used for general-purpose food packaging laminations, health care, pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
The recommended method of application for this product is with a series of rubber and steel, smooth surface transfer rollers on a specially designed solventless adhesive laminator. The adhesive is heated, deposited onto the first two rollers, and metered by the remaining rollers in the application station (typically 3 to 5 rollers). To improve the flow characteristics of the adhesive, heat the first two rollers to 185 - 212°F (85 - 100°C). The final application roller should be heated to approximately the same temperature or slightly higher. Modifications of these temperatures may be required depending on line speed, substrates, and roller size.
- Adhesive Selection
The selection of the adhesive system, substrates, and process conditions are critical to the success of the final structure. Thorough qualification on your equipment and substrates is recommended before commercial production begins.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- Pot Life- Although this single component adhesive does not have a typical “pot life” as with two component solventless systems, it is highly recommended that the rollers of the application station be thoroughly cleaned if the laminator is stopped for more than 60 minutes.
- These products have a storage life of twelve months from date of manufacture. They should be held at normal warehousing temperatures and stored in the original, unopened containers. Containers of the adhesive or curing agent should not remain open for an extended period of time. Material from opened containers should be consumed within a short period. It is necessary to use all the adhesive, once the container is opened, unless there is means of purging the container with dry nitrogen.
- Handling Information
The adhesive, as received, has chemically active Isocyanate groups that will react with water, alcohols, amines, and similar materials containing active hydrogen groups. Reseal containers and keep them tightly closed to maximize the storage life. Nitrogen purging of original containers will have a similar effect.
