ADHE SIVE S AND SE ALA N TSMIX WELL BEFORE USING.

Mor-Gloss 552A may be diluted with water to 40% solids for most applications. Dilution below this level may cause mechanical stability problems. Alcohol cannot be added directly to this system.

Typical Uses This system can be used to laminate a variety of subs trates including polypropylene, polyester, and (coated) printed board. Not intended for use on substrates for food packaging where FDA conformance is required.

Coating Conditions Desired coating weight is 6-10 gm/m2 dry (approximately 4-6 dry pounds/ream).

Optimum coating properties are achieved at ≈ 52% solids. If dilution is desired to lower viscosity, use water only. Typical viscosity as supplied is 26-28 seconds, #2 Zahn cup for Mor-Gloss 552A.

Nip temperatures are 180-200 ° F for polyester and 140-160 ° F for polypropylene combinations at line speeds of up to 100 fpm.

Performance Characteristics Bond values are typically >250 gm initial and 500-600 gm after 24 hours. Mor-Gloss 552A with coreactant Mor-Gloss CR-40B is suggested for general purpose la minations and should be evaluated by the end user for performance levels needed for book binding.
