Abstract: The surface material according to the present disclosure is a surface material partially comprising prints on at least one main surface of a black fabric, in which brightness difference (?L, ?L=Lp?Lb) between average brightness on the main surface of the black fabric (Lb) and average brightness on the print which exists on the main surface (Lp) is smaller than 0. In other words, in the surface material according to the present disclosure, the print is more darkly represented than a black fabric. In view of the above, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a surface material capable of realizing an automotive interior material having a calm impression and improved design properties by representing a print on a main surface of a black fabric darker (specifically, blacker) than the black fabric.

Abstract: To provide a surface material comprising main surfaces which are excellent feeling in touch and hardly cause fiber dropouts, and to provide a method for producing the same. In a surface material comprising binder and a monolayer fabric, it was found that a surface material satisfying both of the following configurations is a surface material with main surfaces which are excellent feeling and hardly cause fiber dropouts a configuration that there is no layer of binder on both main surfaces in the fabric, and, a configuration that there are one or more layers of binder between both main surfaces in the fabric.
