摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel method of manufacturing a composite article of manufacture such as an integrated sink/counter combination from a single sheet of solid surfacing material and a single substrate material. The present invention also relates to a thermoformed composite article of manufacture produced from such a process. The novel method comprises adhering the coating material and substrate material and then thermoforming the coating material through an opening in the substrate material. Preferably, the coating material is a thermoplastic resin composition and the substrate material is a non-thermoplastic material.
