ADCOTETM L 86-113 

Laminating Adhesive

Description and Features

Adcote L 86-113 is a solvent based two component polyurethane adhesive with high solid characteristics

excellent heat and chemical resistance. This polyester adhesive in conjunction with various isocyanate

terminated coreactants functions as a laminating adhesive for flexible packaging and industrial applications. 

Adcote L 86-113 provides optical clarity and high bond strength.

Adcote L 86-113 adhesive adheres to a wide variety of substrates including cellophane, treated polyolefins,

polyester, polyamide, aluminum foil, paper, metalized and PVDC coated materials, and the treated side of

heat-sealable coextruded films. 

Typical Uses

Adcote L 86-113 with is suitable for the lamination of transparent and aluminum-containing structures with

and without sandwich printing. Principal uses are in flexible materials for food pouches, vacuum or gas

flushed luncheon meats and cheese, coffee pouches, condiment packaging, cable wrap laminations, liquid 

packaging, hygroscopic powders, chemicals and cosmetics.

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 ignite 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 not 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. 

Alcohol and similar materials containing active hydrogen can react with the Adcote L 86-113 and Coreactant

causing inadequate cure. Adcote L 86-113 with Coreactant could potentially interact with other constituents

of the laminated structures. Retained solvents, printing inks, slip additives, film additives, antiblock agents, 

coatings, contaminated solvents as well as the packed product are some of the components that may cause

property changes of the film and/or adhesive. 

Recommended Operating Conditions

Application Method Direct gravure

Application Cylinder 165 - 200 line (65 - 80 line per cm) 

Application Solids 35 - 50% 

Pot Life Static 8 hours approximately 

 Dynamic 24 hours approximately 

Dry Adhesive Weight 1.1 - 2.5 lb/ream (2 - 4.5 gsm) depending on structure and end use 

Drying Web Temperature 150 - 200°F (65 - 93°C) 

Lamination Temperature 125 - 180°F (52 - 82°C) 

Cure Time 5 - 10 days at 70°F (21°C) 

Slitting/Rewinding Time 4 - 8 hours at 70°F (21°C) 

Cleaning Solvent Methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate or other suitable organic solvents. 

Initial bond immediately off the laminator is good. Within 48 hours the bond strength will be sufficient for 

further processing, such as slitting and rewinding. Maximum properties of heat and chemical resistance will 

develop within 5 - 10 days.
