/9L7 October 2008 Page 2 of 3 High molecular weight polyesters that are used in solution adhesives like Adcote 102A 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 struc turing is reversible if heat and shear is applied to the

adhesive. 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

a dhesive 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 a ssociated 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

Cleaning

Clean the adhesive from the gravure roll, pan, reservoir and other wetted machine parts as soon as possible

with MEK, ethyl acetate or other active solvents. Clean up spills immediately. If the cells of the gravure roll

start to fill in or plug, scrubbing with solvent and a brass brush can usually cleanse the cylinder. Do not allow

the adhesive to cure on the machine parts, since the adhesive becomes solvent resistant. Cured adhesive in

the cells of the cylinder will be difficult to remove and ma y need chemical or ablative cleaning.

Safety, Handling and Storage

 Store in cool, dry, well ventilated area.

 Follow good manufacturing and handling practices.

 Contains flammable solvents. Always use grounding straps when mixing, transferring and handlin g to

avoid static discharge potential.

 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 warnin gs even after container

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

 Refer to Material Safety Data Sheet for more information.
