ADCOTE™ 1544H

Adcote™ 1544H is a waterborne primer designed for extrusion coating applications on cellulosic substrates. Adhesion is improved between paper and paperboard and polyethylene board extrudates. Adcote™ 1544H may be used on smooth finished calandered or on coated paper. Adhesion is improved even with coating weights as low as 3-5 lbs/ream of polyethylene. Use of Adcote™ 1544H primer eliminates bond variations due to changes in paper surface. Optimum performance is obtained when the extrudate is fully oxidized (605 °F for polyethylene). Satisfactory performance for some applications is obtained with lower extrudate temperatures (580-600 °F).
