Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing an electronic control device. The method includes: providing a housing body with a first part and a second part; providing a multilayer assembly having a first pressure sensitive adhesive polymeric layer of a first pressure sensitive adhesive composition adjacent to a second pressure sensitive adhesive polymeric foam layer of a second pressure sensitive adhesive composition; wherein the second pressure sensitive adhesive composition includes: a polymer base material selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polyurethanes, polyolefins, polyamines, polyamides, polyesters, polyethers, polyisobutylene, polystyrenes, polyvinyls, polyvinylpyrrolidone, natural rubbers, synthetic rubbers, and any combinations, copolymers or mixtures thereof; adhering the first pressure sensitive adhesive polymeric layer to the first part; and adhering the second part to the second pressure sensitive adhesive polymeric foam layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of adhering a first part to a second part, wherein the first part and the second part are used for outdoor applications and comprise a thermoplastic or a thermosetting organic polymer. The present disclosure is also directed to a composite assembly comprising: a) a first part and a second part used for outdoor applications and comprising a thermoplastic or a thermosetting organic polymer; and b) a multilayer pressure sensitive adhesive foam tape as described in the present disclosure, wherein the first pressure sensitive adhesive layer is adhered to the first part, and the second pressure sensitive adhesive layer is adhered to the second part.
