Abstract: The present invention relates to the assembly by adhesive bonding of a first substrate S1 made of thermoplastic polymer elastomer (abbreviation TPE) or of omopolymeric polyamide (abbreviation PA) or copolymeric polyamide (abbreviation coPA) and of a second substrate S2. The substrates S1 and S2 can be of the same kind, in other words made of TPE or of homopolymeric PA or of coPA, or may be of different kinds. Generally speaking, the thermoplastic polymer elastomer (TPE) substrates S1 are assembled by adhesive bonding with other substrates S2 by means of adhesives or glues based on organic solvent, which are also referred to as two-component solvent-borne polyurethane adhesives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of an adhesion promoter (P) in an effective amount in a cleaning solution (N) in order to form an adhesion promoter cleaning solution (CP), the said solution (CP) being intended to clean the surface of a substrate made of (TPE-PA) material, that is to say of material comprising at least one thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and/or at least one polyamide (PA) and/or their blend(s), and to increase the adhesion of the said surface to aqueous adhesive bonds, the said adhesion promoter (P) comprising at least one organic molecule comprising at least one isocyanate functional group masked by at least one masking agent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of bonding two materials with a crosslinkable adhesive, in which a composition (A) is placed on that side of the material (A) which has to bond to the other material (B), a composition (B) is placed on that side of the material (B) which has to bond to the other material (A), and the contact between compositions (A) and (B) and materials (A) and (B) in the presence of heat and optionally of pressure exerted on the materials produces a crosslinked adhesive which joins the two materials together. In one embodiment the compositions are in the form of a film, a mesh or a nonwoven.
