Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a coating film, optionally in the form of sheets or slabs, especially for the coating of a carrier layer (3), optionally textile materials and/or peelable polyurethane foams and/or a textile carrier layer (3), wherein the coating film (100) has an optionally multilayer upper layer (1) and a bonding layer (2) bonded thereto and optionally having multiple layers (2?, 2?) for bonding to the carrier layer (3). It is envisaged in accordance with the invention that the bonding layer (2) creates an uncrosslinked, polyurethane layer having thermoplastic properties and having a thickness between 0.080 and 0.500 mm, preferably between 0.200 and 0.500, especially between 0.120 and 0.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of a composite material, by bonding a supportive layer to an upper layer (1) made of polyurethane or flexible PVC, where the supportive layer (2) is a textile material, e.g. woven fabric, knitted fabric or nonwoven microfiber fabric, or a leather, in particular a split cowhide leather, and the upper layer (1) comprises, bonded to one another, a number of polyurethane layers or a number of flexible PVC layers (1?, 1?). The invention provides that in the composite of upper layer (1) and supportive layer (2), proceeding from the surface of the upper layer (1), channel-shaped cavities (6) for the passage of water vapor and/or air are formed via ablation of material by a laser in a manner such that at least some of the cavities (6) penetrate the entire thickness of the material of the upper layer (1) and/or terminate before entry into that region of the volume of the supportive layer (2) that is free from the material of the upper layer (1).

Abstract: An imitation leather including a three-dimensional textile supporting material and a PVC-based covering that is applied to one side of the supporting material and includes three successively applied layers. The first layer of which is applied directly to the supporting material without an adhesion-promoting glue layer, the second layer of which is embodied as an intermediate layer and applied directly to the first layer and the third layer of which serves as a top layer and is applied directly to the second layer. This invention also discloses a method for producing such an imitation leather and an interior component of a motor vehicle having a visible surface that is composed of such an imitation leather.

Abstract: A method for producing a breathable film based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC), including the following steps. Preparing a paste-like compound including a first fraction composed of PVC, a second fraction composed of a foreign material, and a third fraction composed of adjuvants and/or additives that that are mixed together to form the paste-like compound, applying the paste-like compound to a base, and drying and gelling the paste-like compound, which has been applied to the base, through the addition of heat, thus forming the film in which pores extending from the one surface of the film to the other are formed, which give the film breathability.

Abstract: A method for the production of a breathable multilayer synthetic leather with a backing layer of a textile sheet, at least one intermediate layer applied to the backing layer and based on an at least to some extent open-cell whipped polyurethane foam and, applied full-surface to the at least one intermediate layer, an outer layer based on a polyurethane.

Abstract: A large-size paneling part made of thermoplastic synthetic resins for automotive vehicle interiors or equivalent uses includes a support made of polyolefin particle foam onto which is laminated a decorative layer of polymeric material having a predominantly polyolefin structure during forming of the molded part. This decorative layer includes a multilayer knit mesh or woven fabric with incorporated spacers of preferably polyolefinic polymer threads, having a decorative textile surface. This layer may be laminated on the topside with a decoratively designed film, predominantly on the basis of olefinic polymers or, respectively, be laminated additionally on the rear side with a polyolefin film.

Abstract: A method for welding at least one region of an overlay sheet (16) to a receiving surface of a carrier layer (14) by means of high frequency energy. In the method, on the surface remote from the receiving surface of the carrier layer (14) a foil (12) of electrically conductive material is disposed. The overlay sheet (16) is placed at least on a part of the receiving surface of the carrier layer (14). A high frequency electrode (18, 20) is placed onto the overlay sheet (16) in the region to be welded to the carrier layer (14) and a ground electrode (22) is placed onto a region of the overlay sheet (16) not to be welded to the carrier layer (14) or onto a part of the receiving surface not covered by the overlay sheet (16), said ground electrode (22) having an area which is greater than that of the high frequency electrode (18, 20). The high frequency energy is then switched on while the high frequency electrode ( 18, 20) is held with pressure against the overlay sheet (16).

Abstract: A reflecting flexible textile web is proposed comprising a textile support metal coated on at least one side and in the form of a woven fabric, knitted fabric, non-woven fabric or thread ply sewn fabric, the threads or fibres of which are coated with possibly flame-retarding modified transparent plastic, in which high reflectivity is achieved for infrared radiation but at the same time translucence or light in the visible region in that the metal coating takes place substantially only in the region of the intersections of the threads or fibres while the regions of the textile support disposed between the intersections are substantially free from metal coating and thus permeable to light.
