METHOD OF FORMING LAMINATES

摘要

The method of the present invention relates to forming laminates (40) using a two-component reactive adhesive. The two-component reactive adhesive includes a first reactive component (15) and a second reactive component (30) that when contacted together, a crosslinking reaction is initiated such that a bond between like or different surfaces can be formed. The method includes applying a first component (15) of the two-component reactive adhesive to a first substrate (20) to form at least one layer (25), wherein the first component has both binding and curative properties; applying a second component (30) of the two-component reactive adhesive to a second layer (35), and molding the first layer and second layer under conditions sufficient to utilize the curing properties of the first component to initiate a crosslinking reaction between the first component and second component to bind the first layer and the second layer together. Preferably this is under conditions sufficient to provide the automotive laminate in a predetermined shape.
