Adcote 1140 July 2012 Page 2 of 3

Caution must be taken because of the flammability of the solvents used in the adhesive. Please

review MSDS for hazards associated with the adhesive.

Attempting to redisperse without heat may reduce the apparent viscosity, but not result in a

homogeneou s mix. Before using the adhesive, check, to make sure that all resin has returned to a true

solution and no gels remain

Directions For Use

Apply Adcote 1140 resin by any of the conventional methods, including gravure coater, reverse roll coater,

knife a nd spraying. Dilution may be necessary. Apply enough wet coating to deposit 0.1

- 0.3 dry mi ls (or

approximately 2

– 6 dry lb per 3000 square feet) and completely remove the solvents. Laminate with heated

nip rolls to provide a minimum glue line temperature of 140°F.

The preferred method for bonding is to coat the more stable substrate, heat so the glue is 140°F minimum,

and laminate. A heated press can be used for general purpose bonding by employing enough pressure to

insure intimate contact between the adhesive and both surfaces, and holding this pressure until the glue line

reaches 140°F.

When using Coreactant F, use the amount shown in the Typical Solution Properties section as a guide. The

optimum level of coreactant should be determined experimenta lly for each particular end use. Coating with

coreactant is handled in the same manner as without. Curing begins after solvent removal and continues

slowly at room temperature. Approximately 7

– 14 days are necessary to complete the cure at room

temperatu re, but a post cure at elevated temperatures can reduce this time.

Pot Life

It is best not to mix more Adcote 1140 resin and coreactant than will be used in 8 hours. Any mixed solution

that is left over should be stored in tightly closed containers and s hould be used within 3 days. When

reusing, we recommend that you combine the old mixed solution with newly mixed solution in the ratio of

25% old and 75% new, and mixed thoroughly.

Safety Precautions

Adcote 1140 resin contains somewhat toxic and/or flamm able solvents and suitable handling precautions

should be observed. Do not inhale the fumes. Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with the skin. Eye

contact must be prevented. Synthetic gloves, face shields, and aprons impermeable to these solvents

sho uld be worn when there is possible skin contact. Use NIOSH approved respirators to avoid fumes.
