Abstract: A flame retardant adhesive tissue paper for fabricating moldable structures, particularly suitable for forming laminates for the interior of automobiles is provided. The flame retardant adhesive tissue is prepared by screen printing an aqueous paste dispersion including a flame retardant and thermoplastic adhesive dispersed therein in discontinuous pattern onto one surface of the paper. After removal of water, the drying temperatures is increased to activate the thermoplastic adhesive to adhere to the surface of the tissue with the flame retardants solids dispersed within the interior of the tissue paper. The adhesive coated tissue paper has good acoustic properties and imparts flame retardancy to a laminate including it.

Abstract: A chopped fiberglass containing laminate for fabricating sound absorbing moldable structures, such an automotive headliner is provided. The laminate includes a nonwoven fine denier thermoplastic fiber scrim, a thermoplastic barrier film on one surface and a layer of chopped fiberglass and powder adhesive on the exposed surface of the barrier film. The laminate is combined with a foam core, fiberglass layer and decorative fabric on the fiberglass layer to provide a composite having elongation exceeding 30% in both machine and transverse directions for forming the headliner. An apparatus and method for forming the laminate are so disclosed.

Abstract: A non-fiberglass containing sound absorbing moldable laminate of a fibrous batt and stiffening mats formed from chopped mono-filament polyester bonded by a thermoplastic binder is provided. The mono-filament mats stiffen the batt and allow use of all thermoplastic material in the composite.
