Challenge
Panel Systems manufactures an extensive range of panels, comprising as little as two layers or as many as six layers. The layers can be a multitude of
materials including metals, particle boards, foam plastics and honeycombs. When thin plastic sheet became more widely used in manufacturing about
15 years ago, the company found that a single-part moisture curing polyurethane adhesive was not effective for bonding these new materials. Preparation of plastic substrates prior to bonding resulted in lower production rates.
