2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a solvent-based adhesive has been used for bonding a surface cloth to a base material such as an automobile door and ceiling. A moisture-curable reactive hot melt adhesive having crystallinity (hereinafter abbreviated as R-HM) has advantages such as no solvent, short-time adhesion by crystallization solidification, and development of heat resistance by moisture curing. They tend to be used instead of solvent-based adhesives.

However, the crystallization solidification time, which is the mechanism of developing the initial cohesive force of R-HM, becomes longer as the room temperature rises, and in summer when the temperature is high, solidification occurs within the line tact. There was a problem that it would not be achieved. On the other hand, if the crystallinity of the R-HM itself is increased for the purpose of accelerating the solidification, the required open time (the time that can be pasted) cannot be secured in a low temperature period, and the adhesion to the adherend decreases. The disadvantage occurred. The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the bonding operation is extremely simple, achieving an effective solidification time even in a high temperature period, and expressing a necessary initial cohesive force, thereby achieving high bonding reliability. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bonding method capable of obtaining properties.

Further, the aqueous solution containing a nucleating agent refers to the above-mentioned R
-Refers to an aqueous solution in which a nucleating agent having a promoting effect on HM solidification is dissolved or dispersed. As this nucleating agent,
Inorganic substances such as silica, talc and calcium carbonate, crystalline polymers, waxes and the like can be used, and crystalline polymers, waxes and the like are particularly effective. Specifically, crystalline polyester, crystalline polyester-based urethane, ethylene-based copolymer such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, crystalline polymer such as propylene-based copolymer, paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, low molecular weight An aqueous solution in which one or more waxes such as polyethylene wax and oxidized polyethylene wax are dispersed and dissolved by emulsification or the like by 0.01% by weight or more, preferably 1% by weight or more can be used. In this aqueous solution, pigments, dyes, etc., for the purpose of coating amount control, and for the purpose of accelerating the moisture curing reaction,
An amine-based or metal-based catalyst may be dissolved. The application amount of the aqueous solution containing the nucleating agent depends on the application amount of R-HM, but is 5 to 100 g / m 2 , preferably 10 to 50 g / m 2 .
2 is suitable. If the coating amount is less than 5 g / m 2 , R-HM
This is because there is little effect of accelerating the solidification of the crystal, and if it exceeds 100 g / m 2 , there is a disadvantage that the adhesiveness is impaired.

According to the bonding method of the present invention, R-HM is 80 to 14
It is heated and melted at 0 ° C., and is linearly coated on an adherend, such as a bead, a spiral, or the like, or is spread on a surface by a spray, a die nozzle, a roll coater or the like. When spraying R-HM, the aqueous solution containing the nucleating agent is preferably applied in the form of a mist at the same time as the R-HM using a known sprayer or a sprayer. May be applied. In the case of post-coating, it may be coated with a brush or a roll. Next, the adherend is completed by laminating and bonding the adherends, but the application of an aqueous solution containing a nucleating agent accelerates the solidification of the R-HM crystal, particularly after compression, so that the open time is hardly reduced. The crimping time can be reduced. The nucleating agent becomes R-
It is analyzed that it enters the HM layer, exerts a nucleation effect on the crystal component of R-HM, and hastened the crystal solidification. The solidification time of R-HM suitable for this action is desirably 1 minute or more.
