Mixed adhesive that has not been consumed within 30 minutes from mixing should be discarded.
PRE-TREATMENT OF FILMS
All polyolefin films must be corona treated to 38 40 dynes per centimeter prior to lamination to obtain the
minimum required surface wettability level. Care must be taken to ensure that the treated surface is used for
bonding.
ADHESIVE APPLICATION
CAC SF29 / CAC SF29A is processed on solvent-free laminating machines using a multi roller application
system. These machines are equipped with precise web tension control, which is required for processing
adhesives with low initial tack.
DEPOSIT WEIGHT
It is very important to ensure that a sufficient quantity of adhesive is deposited and that the deposit weight is
uniform and continuous at all times. Based on results obtained in our laboratory, we recommend a deposit
CAC SF29 / CAC SF29A
weight of 1 to 3 g / m for most unprinted or lightly printed substrates. Heavily printed and thicker substrates,
including those required for special applications, may require higher adhesive deposits.
CURING TIME
Laminates can be processed for secondary lamination, rewinding, slitting etc. after 24 hours of the initial
lamination. Optimal chemical and thermal resistance develops within 7 to 14 days.
CLEANING
All machine parts in contact with the mixed adhesive must be cleaned thoroughly before and after each
production run. Solvents like Ethyl Acetate, Methyl Ethyl Ketone and Acetone can be used for cleaning
purposes. It is imperative that the cleaning operation be carried out as soon as possible in order to avoid
difficulties associated with progressive curing of the adhesive.
STORAGE
In the original unopened, undamaged containers, the adhesive and additive have a shelf life of at least 9 months.
Materials in opened drums must be consumed as soon as possible (preferably within 24 hours).
PACKAGING AND AVAILIBILITY
CAC SF29 is available in 230 kg or 25 kg MS drums. CAC SF29A is available in 230 kg or 20 kg MS drums.
The adhesive and additive are readily available from our factory or depot stocks.
SAFETY INFORMATION
This adhesive system contains diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and requires special care in handling. An
important point to note is that the adhesive must be processed in a well-ventilated area. The vapor pressure of
MDI at room temperature is very low and no significant amount of MDI vapor is likely to accumulate in the
environment during lamination. However, when the adhesive is heated, the vapor pressure increases
significantly and hence it is very important to ensure that lamination is carried out in a well-ventilated area in
order to prevent the accumulation of MDI vapor in the environment. This can be done effectively by employing
an efficient exhaust hood on the coating unit.
