Patent ID: 7536937

Claim:
A cutting method of a fabric material having a surface coated with a hot-melt adhesive, wherein said hot-melt adhesive comprises a polymer and from 5 to 40 weight-% wax, and wherein a melting point Tm1 of said wax is from 20° C. to 50° C. lower than a melting point Tm2 of said polymer, said cutting method including steps of: pre-heating said coated surface such that a temperature thereof is in the range of (Tm1+5)° C. to (Tm2−5)° C.; and then cutting said fabric material while the temperature is controlled in the range of(Tm1+5)° C. to (Tm2−5)° C., wherein Tm1 is 70° C., Tm2 is 100° C., and the value for the expression (Tm1+5)° C. to (Tm2−5)° C. is 85° C.
