Abstract
The invention relates to a method for mounting an edge, more particularly plastics edge, onto a material, and also to the products obtained in this way, and to the use thereof.
Claims19
A method for mounting an edge band onto at least one narrow side of a panel-like workpiece by means of adhesive bonding, wherein
- (a) first, the edge band is provided, on its side to be joined to the workpiece with an adhesive layer which can be activated by means of laser radiation, wherein the laser-activatable adhesive layer is obtained starting from a dispersion or solution of at least one adhesive polymer to which at least one laser radiation-absorbing additive is added, and
- (b) thereafter, the edge band thus provided with the laser-activatable adhesive layer is mounted, with exposure to laser radiation, onto at least one narrow side of the workpiece, while being adhesively bonded durably to the at least one narrow side of the workpiece.
A panel-like workpiece comprising at least one narrow side, wherein at least one narrow narrow side of the workpiece is provided with an edge band, wherein the edge band is applied to the narrow side by means of bonding and is connected durably to it, wherein the edge band, before it is applied to the workpiece, has been provided, on its side to be joined to the workpiece, with an adhesive layer which may be activated by means of laser radiation, wherein the laser-activatable adhesive layer is obtained starting from a dispersion or solution of at least one adhesive polymer to which at least one laser radiation-absorbing additive (laser additive) and wherein the application and joining of the edge band to the narrow side of the workpiece have taken place with exposure to laser radiation and with press application.
An edge band which, on at least one side, is provided with an adhesive layer which can be activated by means of laser radiation, wherein the laser-activatable adhesive layer is obtained starting from a dispersion or solution of at least one adhesive polymer to which at least one laser radiation-absorbing additive is added.
