Product Typical Properties

** The optimum level of catalyst should be determined experimentally for

each particular end-use.

Safety Information

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for

all Rohm and Haas products. These sheets contain

important information that you may need to protect

your employees and customers against any known

health and safety hazards associated with our

products. We recommend that you obtain copies of

our MSDS from your local Rohm and Haas technical

representative before using our products in your

facilities. We also suggest that you contact your

suppliers of other materials recommended for use

with our products for appropriate health and safety

precautions before using them.

Processing

ADCOTE 122 HV-E+Catalyst 9L10 can be applied at a

solids content of 30-35%. Application can be done by

using reverse roll coater or smooth roll

coater/knife systems.

Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Acetone or Ethyl

Acetate (EA), with a maximum water content of

0.2%, are suitable as diluents. Aliphatic solvents,

alcohols or alcohol containing solvents must not be

used.

Description

ADCOTE 122 HV-E is the modified polyester basic

component of a two-component specific

performance laminating adhesive system which

requires the use of an isocyanate coreactant.

The full cured adhesive provides a combination of

features and benefits :

-good initial bond properties;

-long-term high temperature resistance under specific

high stress levels;

-specific high bond strength values;

-good chemical and humidity resistance;

-excellent UV resistance.

Application

When mixed with Catalyst 9L10 (or other isocyanate

coreactants*), the resulting polyurethane adhesive is

suitable for a range of specific demand applications

in the manufacturing of technical laminates such as : 

-Sailcloth laminates;

-UV-resistance laminates;

-Temperature-resistant laminates.

Suitable web materials :

-Polyester (PET and PEN) films and fabrics;

-Textile fabrics like cotton, wool, linen, etc.;

-Metal foils (aluminium, etc.);

-Polyolefine films (pre-treated).

An inter-reaction between the adhesive and the other

constituents of the laminated structure like printing

inks, films, additives and coatings may occur. Besides

the desired effects, these inter-reactions may also lead

to unforeseeable changes in quality. Therefore,

before regular production, the suitability of the adhesive

for the structure to be produced and intended

applications must be proven by practice test.

Our Technical Service is ready to supply all the

relevant information regarding the correct use of our

adhesive.

* Other coreactants are available on request for special demands.

Application Weight

Enough wet adhesive should be applied to reach a dry

adhesive layer of 6-15 g/m2 (depending on the used

web material and the required end-use performance).

Drying

The coated substrate has to pass through a drying

tunnel to remove completely the remaining solvents

in the adhesive film. In order to reach this, the

temperature and the line speed have to be adjusted.

Normally this will be done in a range of 20 seconds at

60-100°C.

Nip Temperature

After leaving the drying tunnel, the web material to

be laminated must be nipped at a minimum

temperature of 65°C (depending on the used

materials) in order to reach a minimum temperature

of 60°C in the glue line. 

Avoid film stress, this will give problems when the

adhesive is cured.

Pot Life

The pot life of ADCOTE 122 HV-E+Catalyst 9L10 is

approximately 8 hours at 35% of solids content. It can

vary based on environmental temperature and

humidity conditions.

Curing Time

Machinable bonds develop within 2-3 days at room

temperature. Curing begins during lamination and

continues slowly at room temperature. 

Several days will be necessary to complete the cure at

room temperature (depending upon the laminate

structure) but post-cure at elevated temperatures can

reduce this time.

Cleaning

A proper cleaning procedure should be considered

and implemented as a part of machine operation.

After finishing work the equipment should be

cleaned immediately with MEK or EA.

Storage and Shelf Life

The expiry date of ADCOTE 122 HV-E+Catalyst 9L10

has to be considered the one reported on the

label of the package. This data is valid if the product

is stored in a dry and cool place (5-25°C) in closed

original containers.
