A two-component water-based adhesive for laminating flexible packaging substrates in general or medium performance packaging applications. The coreactant CR-3A must be used at the recommended mix ratio to achieve the desired adhesion and higher performance properties. Alcohol-free reduction, high clarity, and low foam are advantages of the system. The principal uses for ROBOND™ L-208 Adhesive/CR-3A Coreactant are to laminate a variety of substrates including treated polyolefins (minimum 38 dynes/cm2), nylon, and treated polyesters.
