Abstract
A method of applying a two-part liquid composition to a workpiece is provided. In particular, a two-step method is provided wherein a first liquid composition is applied to the workpiece by roll coating, and a second liquid composition is applied by spraying the workpiece. Generally, the first liquid composition is a polyurethane adhesive and the second liquid composition is a polyurethane catalyst. By applying the reactive components of the polyurethane composition in two steps, the open time may be controlled.
Claims6
A method of applying a two-component liquid composition to sheet material comprising the steps of:
- a) applying the first component of the liquid composition to the sheet material by roll coating the first liquid component onto the sheet material, wherein the first component is a polyurethane adhesive comprising from about 75% to about 95% by weight of the liquid composition;
- and
- b) applying the second component of the liquid composition to the sheet material by spraying the second liquid component onto the sheet material, wherein the second component is a polyurethane catalyst comprising from about 5% to about 25% by weight of the liquid composition.
A method of producing a polyurethane-coated sheet material comprising the steps of:
- a) applying a liquid polyurethane adhesive to the sheet material by roll coating the polyurethane adhesive onto the sheet material, wherein the polyurethane adhesive comprises from about 75% to about 95% by weight of the liquid composition;
- and
- b) applying a liquid polyurethane catalyst to the sheet material by spraying the polyurethane catalyst onto the sheet material, wherein the polyurethane catalyst comprises from about 5% to about 25% by weight of the liquid composition.
