Abstract

This invention is a method of using a heat activatable adhesive for laminating vinyl sheet to wood. The organic solvent-free adhesive combines a reactive styrene-acrylic latex emulsion, an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion, and a wax. After application to the vinyl substrate the adhesive is heat activated at temperatures as low as 160.degree. F. (71.degree. C.) and the laminate resists delamination at 190.degree. F. (88.degree. C.).
