Process for producing a laminate, pressure cushion for use in heat and pressure laminating operations and use of the pressure cushion.

摘要

Cellulosic paper sheets interleaved with sheets of a thermoplastic material having a glass transition point below about 100°C. and a melting point of about 125°C. or more provide a cushion for use in laminating operations. The thermoplastic sheets employed in the cushion have an individual thickness ranging from about 2 to 20 mils and a combined thickness of at least 5 mils. Such a cushion provides a long-term, reuseable cushion for laminating operations.
