Abstract
To simplify the production process for vacuum-formed instrument panels, adhesive spray coating of the surface of the plastic foundation has been replaced by pre-coating the bottom side surface of the laminated skin, reducing the number of procedures required for spraying and drying. Further, the development of an adhesive with excellent olefin adhesion qualities has reduced the number of pretreatment steps necessary for the foundation and skin. Adoption of this method has simplified the production process, and reduced the required number of procedures from nine to five, thereby resulting in cost reductions.
