Retort adhesive composition

According to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure, a coated film may be made by a process that may include applying an uncured polyurethane precursor between a polyolefin film and a release liner such that a first surface of the release liner is in contact with the uncured polyurethane precursor, curing the uncured polyurethane precursor to form a cured polyurethane layer positioned between the polyolefin film and the release liner, and removing the release liner to form the coated film comprising the polyolefin film and the cured polyurethane layer. The first surface of the release liner may have an optical finish. The curing may impart an optical finish to the cured polyurethane layer substantially similar to the optical finish of the first surface of the release liner.

Processes for making coated films and solventless polyurethane precursors that may be used to make coated films

A solvent-based polyurethane retort adhesive system for producing laminates including: (A) at least one isocyanate compound, Component A, comprising: a blend of: (i) at least one aliphatic-based isocyanate and (ii) at least one aromatic-based isocyanate; and (B) at least one isocyanate-reactive component, Component B, comprising: (i) at least one phosphate ester compound and (ii) at least one polyether polyol having an average molecular weight of less than 1,500 g/mol; a process for producing the above adhesive; a multi-layer laminate product including the above adhesive; and a process for producing a laminate product using the above adhesive.

The present disclosure provides a process comprising providing an isocyanate component A comprising a blend of (i) an aromatic isocyanate prepolymer and (ii) an aliphatic isocyanate prepolymer; providing a polyol component B comprising a blend of; (i) a phosphate-functional polyol, (ii) a polyether polyol, and (iii) an element selected from the group consisting of a polyurethane polyol, a polyester polyol and a combination thereof; mixing component A and component B to form a solventless adhesive (SLA) composition, wherein a weight ratio of component A to component B is from 2:1 to 1:1, the SLA composition having a pot life from 30 min to 60 min at 40 C; applying the SLA composition between a first film and a second film to form a raw laminate; and curing the raw laminate to form a laminate product.

Two-component solventless polyurethane adhesive compositions comprising an isocyanate component and an isocyanate-reactive are disclosed, the compositions comprising an isocyanate component comprising an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer and an isocyanate-reactive component comprising a hydroxy-terminated polyurethane resin, a polyether polyol, a phosphate ester adhesion promoter, and, optionally, a bio-based polyol. Methods for forming laminate structures are also disclosed, the methods comprising forming an adhesive composition by mixing an isocyanate adhesive component comprising an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer and an isocyanate-reactive adhesive component comprising a hydroxy-terminated polyurethane resin, a polyether polyol, a phosphate ester adhesion promoter, and optionally, a bio-based polyol, applying the adhesive composition to a surface of a first substrate, and bringing a surface of a second substrate into contact with the adhesive composition on the surface of the first substrate, thereby forming the laminate structure. Laminate structures are also disclosed.

Two-component solventless adhesive compositions

The present disclosure provides a two-component solventless adhesive composition comprising a polyol component and an isocyanate component. The polyol component comprises a phosphate functional compound, and at least one polyol selected from polyester, polyether, and the combination thereof; and the isocyanate component comprises isocyanate prepolymer that is the reaction product of at least one isocyanate monomer and at least one polyol selected from polyester, polyether, and the combination thereof.

Laminates of polymeric films and solvent-based polyurethane adhesive formulations for preparing them are provided. The adhesive formulations include a hydroxyl-terminated polyester that forms crystalline polyester domains after reaction with an appropriate polyisocyanate, but prior to completion of cure. The result is an adhesive layer that substantially enhances the oxygen barrier properties of the adhesive and, therefore, of the laminate as a whole, while offering desirable convenience of application even at relatively low temperatures. The laminates may also exhibit desirable retention of barrier properties following flex-cracking.
