ADCOTE™ 577A

Adcote™ 577A is the isocyanate-terminated polyester urethane component of a two-component adhesive system that requires the use of Coreactant Adcote™ 577B to achieve full properties. Adcote™ 577A/577B can be used in all typical laminations for laminating aluminum foil and a variety of polyester, polyolefin and coextruded films typically used in food, medical and industrial packaging applications. Adcote™ 577A/577B can be used in retortable structures to laminate polyester to foil or nylon to foil. The adhesive layer must be separated from the food product by a functional barrier.

Features & Benefits

Adcote™ 577A/577B adhesive provides high bond strength and a high level of heat and chemical resistance. Adcote™ 577A/577B exhibits high initial shear strength that helps mitigate laminate defects.
