    Applications & Uses

    Application Method
    Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
    Typical Applications
    • Designed for direct coating onto paper substrates by conventional coating methods such as flexo or Mayer rod.
    • Peel values of 1 - 3 oz/inch (28 – 85 grams/2.5 cm) are typically realized in the recommended coat weight range of 5 - 9 pounds (dry)/3000 sq. ft. (8 - 15 grams (dry)/sq. meter).
    • This product shows optimal performance on paper substrates with intermediate Sheffield smoothness values. Some substrates may require priming or additional deposition of adhesive.
    Application Instructions
    • This product may separate over time; this is typical for this type of adhesive.
    • Mix before use; adhesive will readily redisperse with mild agitation.
    • Check pH in open coating pans and adjust to 9.5 with ammonium hydroxide solution, if necessary. If the pH of the adhesive falls below 8.8, coagulation may occur.
    • Air operated diaphragm pumps are recommended to pump the adhesive. Avoid the use of high-speed centrifugal pumps.
    Cleaning Instructions

    The adhesive will clean up with water and mild soap when wet; dried material may require clean up with a solvent such as acetone or ethyl acetate.
