Compliance with Food Packaging Regulations
Under specific conditions (FDA, EC-guidelines and BfR recommendations) the
adhesive LA 7728 / LA 6028 is suitable for the lamination of food packaging
materials. A conformity letter with further details is available on request. The
responsibility for compliance with the specific regulations is with the converter and
not with the adhesive supplier.
Products Properties
By reaction of the two components a high polymer adhesive film will be obtained
which shows good adhesion on various substrates. The completely cured
adhesive film LOCTITE LIOFOL LA 7728/ LA 6028 is
- transparent
- odourless
- elastic and
- age resistant
II. Directions for use
Mixing ratio For High Slip films laminates, 100 parts of Loctite Liofol LA 7728 with 60 Parts of
Additive LA 6028.
For metallised film laminates, 100 parts of Loctite Liofol LA 7728 with 80 Parts of
Additive LA 6028
Coating LOCTITE LIOFOL LA 7728/ LA 6028 is applied on special laminating machines with multi roller
application systems.
Coating Weight Depending on the film or foil combination and the end use of the laminate, the
adhesive weight may range from 1 - 3 g/m² dry. For printed laminates the weight
has to be adjusted accordingly.
Dosing The adhesive is continuously added in the gap of the application station with a
two-component mixing and dosing unit. The amount of adhesive in the gap
should be kept on the lowest possible level.

Laminating Conditions Precise web tension control together with a suitable winding program avoids delamination as
well as telescoping and curling effects.
Cleaning In case of a machine stop (for more than 30 minutes) the coating unit has to be
cleaned with solvents / plasticizer-mixture (observe safety precautions) and the two component
dosing unit has to be washed. The same cleaning procedure has to be followed at the end of
the run.
Curing The laminates may be rewound and slit after 1 - 2 days. Manufacture of triplex laminates is
possible 24 hours after duplex production. Complete curing will be achieved after 7 - 14 days
of storage at room temperature.
Cautionary Information When using Loctite LOCTITE LIOFOL LA 7728/ LA 6028 an efficient exhaust hood has to be
fitted to the coating unit for safety reasons. The exhaust efficiency has to be checked prior to
production by gas analysis for isocyanates concentration in the air. Safety regulations with
regard to handling of isocyanates have to be followed as per the guideline issued by the
International Isocyanates Institute. Please also refer to the local safety instructions as well as
our safety data sheet and contact Henkel for analytical support.
III. Transport/Storage
Storage Loctite Liofol LA 7728 and Additive LA 6028 have a storage life of 9 months at room
temperature when stored in the original unopened containers. Opened containers have to be
closed immediately and the material should be consumed within a short period
Classification Details can be obtained from the corresponding safety data sheets.
IV. Additional Information
Film additives, particularly slip additives, in packed goods, printing inks, pretreatment and
coating of films are of significant importance to the end use of the laminates and may affect the
performance properties either straight away or later.
Laminates of high slip containing films, EVA films, CPA films and white-pigmented PE films
bear the risk of migration of monomeric MDI. This can cause negative influences on the filling
good and may lead to anti-seal effects. Therefore, practical laminating tests as well as proper
checks on the laminates are necessary before going into full-scale production.
The deep draw properties of film / film laminates have to be checked since oriented films (OPA,
OPP) show a tendency of tunneling upon the influence of higher temperatures.
Further detailed information can be obtained from our "Technical Guide Line for laminating with
Loctite Liofol UK/UR adhesives".
