Provided is an adhesive comprising a reaction product of (A1) an aliphatic isocyanate having an NCO group content of 18 to 64 and (A2) a polyol or polyamine having a molecular weight of from 400 to 4000; and (B) a polyaspartate compound, wherein viscosity of the adhesive, as measured @ 23° C. according to ASTM D4212-16, remains below 60 seconds for after four hours, and wherein the adhesive develops an acceptable bond strength to a substrate, defined as having a minimum of 150 g/in. measured @ 23° C. according to ASTM D 1876-01 or substrate tear, in less than or equal to five days after the substrate is laminated with the adhesive. The adhesives are free of aromatic amines and may find use in multi-layered laminated films for the production of flexible packaging useful in a variety of industries, including the food processing, cosmetics, and detergents industries.

The present invention provides an aqueous polyurethane dispersion (PUD) comprising an amorphous polyester having a glass transition temperature (T) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry of less than &#x2212;30&#xb0; C.; wherein the aqueous polyurethane dispersion (PUD) has a glass transition temperature (T) as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of 0&#xb0; C. to 20&#xb0; C. and a hard block content of greater than 50%. Coatings, adhesives, sealants, paints, primers and topcoats, made from the inventive aqueous polyurethane dispersion (PUD) pass detergent resistance testing according to the American Architectural Manufacturers Association's standard, AAMA 615-13, have a pencil hardness according to ASTM D3363 of at least 3H, and are particularly suited for use on low surface energy substrates such as vinyl and other surfaces including floors, windows, doors, window frames, door frames, window shutters, railing, gates, pillars, arbors, pergolas, trellises, gazebos, posts, fencing, pipes and fittings, wire and cable insulation, automobile components, credit cards, and siding.
