Described herein are adhesive compositions, and in particular to solventless adhesive compositions, which can be used to construct laminates, such as flexible laminate materials used to construct flexible packaging (among other things). In another aspect, the solventless adhesive materials are essentially monomer and/or catalyst free, making them well suited for use in making laminates for packaged foods, beverages, and other sensitive materials, e.g., materials which should not be contaminated or not contaminated to unacceptable levels. Also described are laminates made with the adhesive compositions. Laminates made with the adhesive compositions exhibit sufficient bond strength to be slit after 4-8 hours after formation and even 4-5 hours after formation. |
