# PACKAG ING AN D
CO NV E R TIN GA rela tively slow initial increase in viscosity is due to the e x othermi c reaction of the adhesive immedia t ely
after the mixin g process and the mechan ic al in fluences in the application system.
For short trial runs the adhesive can be batch mixed. We recommend preparatio n of no more adhesive than
can be used within 5-10 minutes. A high speed sti rrer suitable for a homogeneous mixing should be used. However, the use of a me ter/mix/dispen se device wh ich continuou sly mixes the adhesive a t the chosen
ratio

, controls the feeding of the applica t ion unit, and stops produ ction automa t ically in case of machine
failures

, is ind i spensable for extended tr ials and normal production.

When processing Mor-Free 403A, the safety rules for wo rking with isocyanate s must be ob served. The
adhesive con t ains monome r ic MDI. See Material Safe ty Da ta Sheet for specific de tails

.

Cleaning The applicatio n unit should be cleaned before the adh esive bec ome s insoluble by progressive curing, if the machine stop s take more than 30 minu t es. Me thyle ne chloride c an be used to flush the mixing and metering units where a non-flammab l e solvent is req u ired. Consult the Ma terial Safe ty Da ta Sheet from the methylene chloride supplier for safe hand ling.

If the app lication unit and mixing devic es are combustion proof, the y may be clea ned with ester s or ketones
such as eth y l acetate and MEK.

Several commercially a v ailable solven ts are safe and effective for flushing and cleaning Mor-Free adhesive
residues from solven tless laminators an d meter / mi x/d i spensing equipment tha t do not ha ve combustio n proof ratings. We recommend contac ting e i ther D y nalo y , Inc

. (800-669-5709; www.dy naloy

. com ), o r Danko Industr ies (630-882-6070) for cleaning solvent re commend ations. Alw a ys consult the solvent supplier’s MSDS for safe ty information be fore use.

Storage
Mor-Free 403A and Mor-Free Coreactant C-117 can be st ored for 360 da ys in airtigh t , close d , unmixed

, original con t a i ners in dry rooms at temperatures of 70° ± 15 ° F. Opened containers should be used as quickly as possible.
