Discrete coating of liquid on a liquid-coated substrate and use in forming laminates

A process, comprising:

• providing a first coating head, the first coating head comprising a first external opening in flow communication with a source of a first coating liquid;
• positioning the first coating head relative to a substrate to define a gap between the first external opening and the substrate;
• creating relative motion between the first coating head and the substrate in a first coating direction;
• and
• dispensing a pre-determined quantity of the first coating liquid from the first external opening onto at least a portion of at least one major surface of the substrate to form a discrete patch of the first coating liquid in a predetermined position on at least a portion of the major surface of the substrate, the patch having a thickness and a perimeter, providing a second coating head, the second coating head comprising a second external opening in flow communication with a source of a second coating liquid;
• positioning the second coating head relative to the patch on the substrate to define a gap between the second external opening and a major surface of the patch;
• creating relative motion between the second coating head and the substrate in a second coating direction;
• dispensing a pre-determined quantity of the second coating liquid from the second external opening onto a portion of a major surface of the patch opposite the substrate to form a discontinuous pattern of the second coating liquid on the major surface of the patch,
• wherein at least one of the first coating liquid or the second coating liquid as dispensed exhibits a viscosity of at least 1 Pascal-sec,
• optionally wherein a stencil is not used to form the discrete patch.
