Patent ID: 8864928

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a vehicle interior component having a plurality of layers, the method comprising: applying a hot melt adhesive to a first side of a first layer, the hot melt adhesive including a first base polymer having a first melting point and a second base polymer having a second melting point that is greater than the first melting point, the hot melt adhesive being applied to the first side of the first layer at a temperature greater than or equal to the second melting point; following application of the hot melt adhesive, applying a second layer to the first side of the first layer; in a laminating mold, heating the hot melt adhesive between the first layer and the second layer to a specified temperature greater than or equal to the first melting point and less than the second melting point; and demolding the plurality of layers of the component from the laminating mold prior to complete cooling of the hot melt adhesive.
