ADCOTE™ 50C12

Adcote™ 50C12 is a waterborne dispersion which has excellent adhesion to metal foils and cellulosic substrates. The dried polymer exhibits excellent chemical resistance, heat seal, and hot tack properties. Adcote™ 50C12 can be used as an extrusion primer on aluminum foil for extrusion coating or laminating with polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, and ethylene acrylic acid resins. Adcote™ 50C12 also may be used as a heat seal coating which exhibits water, oil and solvent resistance. As Adcote™ 50C12 is a thermoplastic composition with a low activating temperature, it can also be used to thermally bond to itself, metal, paper, or polyethylene substrates.
