Representing the latest generation of high-performance solvent-based adhesives for retort and oven-resistant applications, Adcote™ adhesives are high-solids, high-performance solvent-borne adhesives — ideally suited for tough laminating situations. Adcote™ adhesives are uniquely formulated to withstand extreme heat and aggressive contents. Their exceptional performance makes them ideal for a wide variety of substrates and they run on existing equipment at faster line speeds, as well as resist aggressive foods like wet pet food, sauces and ready-to-eat meals. The versatility of these adhesives also allows them to be used for the outside layer of retortable structures to laminate polyester to foil, or polyester to nylon in triplex or quadruplex structures.

For challenging applications like clear barrier retortable films frequently found in packaging for microwaveable pre-cooked rice and pasta sauces, specify Adcote™ 842/842D adhesives and achieve lasting bonds with clear barrier retortable films. For high acid sauces specify Adcote™ 250HV-US, a time-proven retort adhesive originally developed for Japanese converters, with a long history of packaging shelf-stable sauces. Adcote 250HV performs on a wide variety of substrates.
