IN THIS PAPER, A THERMOFORMING PROCESS FOR LAMINATING EXPANDABLE VINYL TO A RIGID PART FOR AUTOMOTIVE INTERIOR APPLICATIONS IS DESCRIBED USING A NEW WATER-BORNE, TWO-PART, REACTIVE POLYURETHANE ADHESIVE AS A REPLACEMENT FOR CURRENT SOLVENT-BASED ADHESIVES. DATA ON LAMINATES BONDED WITH THIS ADHESIVE TESTED AGAINST TYPICAL OEM SPECIFICATIONS ALSO IS PRESENTED WITH THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS NEW ADHESIVE PASSES THESE SPECIFICATIONS. KEY PARAMETERS TO OBTAINING OPTIMUM BONDING STRENGTH WITH THIS ADHESIVE ARE DISCUSSED.
