However...
One
important
issue
remains
http://www.simonstapleton.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/one-finger.jpg

During application of a water
borne lacquer,
de-lamination occurs at the edges of the
laminate....

During application of a water
borne lacquer,
de-lamination occurs at the edges of the
laminate....
and so far, we cannot solve this..

This is what
happens...

...and this is
what we
tried and
learned
ourselves
already
11

...and this is The adhesive film does not
dissolve in water
what we adhesive itself
Conclusion: The
tried and is not water sensitive
learned
ourselves
already
11

...and this is The adhesive film does not
dissolve in water
what we adhesive itself
Conclusion: The
tried and is not water sensitive
learned There is still adhesive present on the
two delaminated sides
ourselves Conclusion: Adhesion to wood
already is good enough
11

...and this is The adhesive film does not
dissolve in water
what we adhesive itself
Conclusion: The
tried and is not water sensitive
learned There is still adhesive present on the
two delaminated sides
ourselves Conclusion: Adhesion to wood
already is good enough
Delamination also occurs by applying
water instead of the lacquer
Conclusion: Water is responsible
for delamination, not an ingredient in
the lacquer

Without lacquer, the
mechanical properties of the
laminate are good and
outperform current adhesives --
> the adhesive is strong enough

Delamination most probably does Without lacquer, the

not occur during application laminate are good and
of the lacquer, but only during/ outperform current adhesives --
after drying. > the adhesive is strong enough

So this is
where we
need
you!!
