Alcohol and similar materials containing active hydrogen can react with Adcote 1136E adhesive causing

inadequate cure.

Adcote 1136E can react or interact with other components of laminations. Retained solvents, slip additives,

antiblock agents, and co ntaminated solvents are some of the components that may cause property changes

of the film and/or adhesive.

High molecular weight polyesters that are used in solution ad hesives like Adcote 1136E have tendency to

form a reversible structure in solution with time. This structuring is accelerated when the adhesive is

exposed to temperatures below 50°F. The structuring is reversible if heat and shear is applied to the

adhes ive. We recommend placing the container of adhesive in a steam cabinet, allowing venting of the

container and heating to 110

- 140°F. After the adhesive reaches the proper temperature, mix the

adhesive in the container for 1

- 3 hours under moderate shear. Use of a disperser or “Cowles” type blade

will shorten the time needed.

Caution must be taken because of the flammability of the solvents used in the adhesive. Please

review MSDS for hazards associated with the adhesive.

Attempting to redisperse without heat may reduce the apparent viscosity, but not result in a

homogeneous mix. Before using the adhesive, check, to make sure that all resin has returned to a true

solution and no gels remain.
