Abstract A process for producing a urethane die. A heat-resistant epoxy adhesive is applied to the inner surface of a recess provided in the body of a die. A urethane primer is applied to the adhesive while the adhesive is still in a semi-hardened state. A punch is inserted into the recess to form a space between the recess and the punch and a urethane resin is injected into the space to form a resin layer on the recess having a shape corresponding to the outer surface of the punch. A reinforcing fibrous material may be incorporated into the resin layer by applying a urethane resin having a lubricant incorporated therein to the surface of the punch and adhering a fibrous material impregnated with the urethane resin to the coated surface of the punch prior to inserting the punch into the recess. d
A process for producing a urethane die, comprising: providing a recess in the body of a die, applying a heat-resistance epoxy adhesive to the surface of said recess, applying to the adhesive a urethane primer, containing a bisphenol epoxy resin as its main ingredient, and having an affinity to the adhesive while the adhesive is in a semi-hardened state, inserting a punch into the recess so as to form a space between the recess and the punch, and injecting a urethane resin into said space to form a resin layer having the shape of said punch.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
66 words
A process for producing a urethane die as recited in claim 1 wherein, prior to inserting the punch into the recess, a urethane resin containing a silicone lubricant is applied to the punch and a reinforcing fibrous material impregnated with a urethane resin is applied to those portions of the urethane coated punch which correspond to portions in said resin layer requiring a high compressive strength.
