Abstract

An optical disc comprises two facing disc units, at least one of which has a recording layer formed on its surface facing to the other disc unit. The disc units are bonded together by a layer of adhesive which may be a room-temperature curing thermosetting adhesive having a glass transition temperature higher than the upper limit of the range of temperatures of environments in which the disc may be used. Alternatively, the adhesive may be a room-temperature curing two-pack epoxy adhesive which comprises a bisphenol epoxy resin base agent and a modified aliphatic polyamine curing agent, and which has a viscosity of 100-1000 cps, a pot life of one hour or more, a cure shrinkage of 1.0% or less, a water absorption, after curing, of 0.2% or less, and a Shore hardness, after curing, of 80-90.
