  • Publication number: 20170088753
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a novel laminating adhesive to thereby allow provision of a laminating adhesive composition for a laminate that provides good adhesion between a metal layer and a plastic layer, has satisfactory moisture barrier properties, heat resistance, insulation properties, durability, etc., also exhibits electrolyte resistance even after low-temperature curing, and does not undergo delamination over time. A laminate that uses the laminating adhesive composition and a secondary battery are also provided. The object is achieved by a laminating adhesive containing a non-chlorine-based polyolefin resin (A), an epoxy compound (B), and an organic solvent (C) including a cyclic alkane compound as an essential ingredient and further including an ester-based solvent or an alcohol-based solvent. In the organic solvent (C), the ratio, in parts by mass, of the cyclic alkane compound to the solvent other than the cyclic alkane compound is within the range of 1/1 to 20/1.
