  • Patent number: 6004413
    Abstract: Method for manufacturing a laminate consisting of at least two plates, which are attached to one another by means of an intermediate layer on the basis of a polymerizable resin, whereby a layer (7) of the polymerizable resin is applied on a horizontally placed plate (1) and whereby a second plate (9) is applied on this layer (7), after which the obtained whole is pressed together and the above-mentioned layer (7) is entirely polymerized, characterized in that between the application of the layer (7) and the application of the second plate (9), the layer (7) is first partly polymerized and this layer (7) is entirely polymerized after the whole has been pressed together.
