Abstract

Method for attaching a polyurethane (PU) surface to a polyvinyl chloride or other polymer surface, particularly useful for making smart cards. A plasticizer compatible with both the PU and the polymer is placed between the surface of the polymer and the surface of a bicomponent PU precursor resin, and pressure is applied to incorporate the plasticizer in the polymer surface and in the polyurethane as it forms.
