MOR-FREETM L 75-163/C-411

Solventless Laminating Adhesive

Description and Features

Mor-Free L 75-163 + Coreactant C-411 is a solventless, two component, polyurethane adhesive system

which is applied at low temperature. Mor-Free L 75-163 is suitable for laminating nylon, aluminum, polyester,

metalized film, polyethylene, and other packaging substrates, unprinted or reverse printed.

**Store in tightly closed container in cool, dry place. Keep Mor-Free L75-163 from freezing. 

Mor-Free L 75-163 + Coreactant C-411 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. 

Processing

Mor-Free L 75-163 + Coreactant C-411 must be used on machines which have been specially designed for

solventless laminations. Such equipment allows the adhesive to be fed through a meter/mix/dispense device 

and provides web tension controls designed for adhesives with low initial tack. 

As the reactivity of Mor-Free L 75-163 + Coreactant C-411 is high, the laminates can generally be further

processed in as little as 8 hours, depending on the laminate construction. The chemical curing is generally

completed within 7 days at 25°C, depending on the laminate construction. As always, converters should

verify appropriate cure times for their individual application. 

Application Temperature

We recommend the application roll be set at 100° - 120°F (38° - 49°C), depending on machine design and

line speed desired. No preheating of the adhesive or coreactant at the meter/mix/dispense unit is

required.

PACKAGING AND

BUILDING MATERIALS 
For short trial runs the adhesive can be batch mixed. We recommend preparation of no more adhesive 

than can be used within 5-10 minutes. A high speed stirrer suitable for a homogeneous mixing should be

used. However, the use of a meter/mix/dispense device which continuously mixes the adhesive at the 

chosen ratio, controls the feeding of the application unit, and stops production automatically in case of 

machine failures, is indispensable for extended trials and normal production. 

When processing Mor-Free L 75-163, the safety rules for working with isocyanates must be observed. The 

adhesive contains monomeric MDI. See Material Safety Data Sheet for specific details. 

Cleaning 

The application unit should be cleaned before the adhesive becomes insoluble by progressive curing, if the 

machine stops take more than 30 minutes. Methylene chloride can be used to flush the mixing and 

metering units where a non-flammable solvent is required. Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet from the

methylene chloride supplier for safe handling. 

If the application unit and mixing device are combustion proof, they may be cleaned with esters or ketones

such as ethyl acetate and MEK. 

Several commercially available solvents are safe and effective for flushing and cleaning Mor-Free adhesive

residues from solventless laminators and meter/mix/dispensing equipment that do not have combustion 

proof ratings. We recommend contacting either Dynaloy, Inc. (800-669-5709); www.dynaloy.com), or

Danko Industries (630-882-6070) for cleaning solvent recommendations. Always consult the solvent 

supplier’s MSDS for safety information before use. 

Storage 

Mor-Free L 75-163 and Coreactant C-411 can be stored in airtight, closed, unmixed, original containers in 

dry rooms at temperatures of 70° ± 15°F. Opened containers should be used as quickly as possible. 

Mor-Free L 75-163 should be kept from freezing. 

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.
