<p>This invention presents new water-based adhesives suitable for use in thermoforming lamination systems. More particularly, this invention presents water-based adhesive-forming compositions comprising an aromatic polyurethane in water dispersion or emulsion and a compatible cross-linking agent; also includable in the compositions are thickening agents and pigments. These new adhesives, it has been found, exhibit bonding strengths and temperature resistance far superior to the solvent and water-based adhesives currently used in industrial applications, and are useful in thermoforming lamination processes. Also disclosed is a one-step thermoform lamination edge-folding process using the adhesive.</p> |
