ADCOTETM 250HV-US/Coreactant 86 

Laminating Adhesive

Description 

Adcote 250HV-US/Coreactant 86 is a two component, high performance adhesive system. It is based on

commercial technology, successfully used in Asia for many years in the retort industry. When Adcote 250HVUS is used with Coreactant 86, the combination has suitable use in high temperature laminations, e.g.

autoclave, steam sterilization applications, and recommended for retort packaging applications. This adhesive 

works particularly well with aggressive fill food stuffs. This adhesive combination adheres to aluminum foil and

a variety of film substrates (Including SiOx and AlOx coated films), providing high initial green bond, and 

offering excellent heat and chemical resistance properties.

Adcote 250HV-US/Coreactant 86 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.

Lamination Temperature 140 – 200°F

Cure Time For retort food applications, post cure at 120 – 130°F for 5 days for

optimal heat resistance and end use properties. 

Alternative room temperature cure, post cure at .>75F for 10 days

minimum prior to use in non-retort applications requiring heat resistance

(e.g. autoclave, sterilization, etc.) or other general application uses. 

For specific retort applications and conditions, see FDA Status.

PACKAGING AND

BUILDING MATERIALS 
Safety, Handling and Storage 

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

closed. 

• Hot organic chemical vapors can suddenly and without warning combust when mixed with air. 

Ignition can occur at typical elevated temperature process conditions. Please evaluate such 

processes to assure safe handling conditions. 

• Support and ground containers before opening, dispensing, mixing, pouring or emptying. Open with 

non-sparking tools. If container is warm, open bung slowly to release the internal pressure. 

• 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 no use heat, sparks, open flames, torches or cigarettes on or near empty containers. 

Do not reuse empty container without professional cleaning. 

• Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for more information. 

 Coreactant 86 is moisture sensitive. Containers should not remain open for an extended period of time.
