MOR-FREETM L 75-274

Solventless Laminating Adhesive 

Description

Mor-Free L 75-274 is a solvent-free, 100% solids, single component, self-curing polyurethane laminating 

adhesive. It is used in flexible packaging constructions including metallized substrates and paper laminations 

such as bleached kraft and clay coated paper.

Typical Properties*

Appearance Hazy, colorless to light straw

Solids 100%

Viscosity (Brookfield)

at 90C 2500 cps

at 35C 150,000 cps

Density 9.2 lb/gal

Shelf Life** 360 days (unopened containers)

*These items are provided for general information only. They are approximate values and are not 

considered part of a product specification.

**Store in tightly closed container in cool, dry place.

Mor-Free L 75-274 may react or interact with other components of laminations. Retained volatiles (solvents 

or water), slip additives, antiblock agents and inks are some of the components that may cause property 

changes of the laminated structure. If Mor-Free L 75-274 is used on high slip films (COF < 0.2) or with high 

slip LDPE/LDPE laminations, then the user must verify that potential film property changes due to the 

lamination process and materials are acceptable for the end use performance requirements.

Typical Uses

Some typical constructions using Mor-Free L 75-274 are:

1 mil foil to 10 pt bleached kraft paper

1 mil foil to 12 pt clay coated paper

.00035 aluminum foil to 35 lb bleached paper

Other types of laminates are possible and should be tested.

Adhesive Application 

Laminators must be equipped with a heated fountain and heated applicator rollers. Best adhesive 

application is obtained when the adhesive is heated to a typical temperature of 194F (90C).

The optimum amount of coating weight necessary for good bonding varies with the end use requirements. It 

is suggested that initial evaluation be carried out at a range of 2.0-3.5 lb/ream.

The adhesive containers need to be preheated in an oven to operating temperature before filling the 

applicator system. Do not heat the sealed containers any longer than 16 hours because the adhesive may 

become viscous and gel.

Combining 

Best results are obtained at combining roll temperatures of 100-150F. Film tension has to be controlled 

very carefully to eliminate tunneling or worming in the wind-up roller.

Bond Formation

This adhesive does not provide any green strength off the laminator. Bond develops in tightly wound rolls in 

6-18 hours at room temperature storage. Optimum properties are obtained in 5-7 days.

Clean-Up 

Applicator rolls can be cleaned with isopropyl or ethyl alcohol. If the adhesive has cured on the applicator 

rolls, MEK is recommended for cleaning.

Safety, Handling and Storage

 Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Keep container tightly 

closed.

 Follow good manufacturing and handling practices.

 Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated goggles, face shield, and gloves. 

Professionally launder contaminated clothing before re-use.

 ATTENTION! Container can be hazardous when empty. Follow label warnings even after container 

is empty. Do not reuse empty container without professional cleaning.

 Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for more information.
