Abstract: A deformable film has a decorative surface featuring a completely matt appearance. For this purpose, the deformable film has a decorative surface provided with at least one coating comprising the following constituents: (a) an aqueous dispersion of a hydroxy-functional prepolymer, obtainable by conversion of at least one of the following components: (i) a component having hydroxyl groups, (ii) a polyester polyol having hydroxyl groups, (iii) a polyisocyanate having isocyanate groups, (iv) a compound having at least two groups reactive toward isocyanate groups and at least one group capable of anion formation, (v) water, where components (i) to (iii) and the ratio of components (i) to (iii) are selected such that an excess of hydroxyl groups is present relative to the isocyanate groups, and (b) nanoparticles having a number-average particle size of 1 to 1000 nm and (c) a crosslinker having at least two groups reactive toward hydroxyl groups.

Abstract: A method for making a plastic film having a three-dimensionally structured and colored surface includes the steps of: providing the film with a three-dimensional surface structure via a shaping process; determining the provided topography of the film surface via a scanning process; and, applying a coloring to the surface after the topography of the surface has been determined. A device configured to apply the coloring to the surface is controlled such that the application of the coloring to the surface is changeable in dependence upon at least one of topological data of the surface and macroscopic shapes of the surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polymer mixture, especially for decorative surfaces in an automobile interior, that displays an improvement in long-term functionality with respect to the properties of writing sensitivity, soiling and cleaning behavior, abrasion resistance, and antisqueak behavior, both in the delivery condition and in the used condition.

Abstract: A multi-layer sheet material includes at least one textile substrate layer, at least one foamed layer made of polyvinyl chloride containing plasticizer, at least one cover layer made of polyvinyl chloride containing plasticizer, and at least one coating layer facing outward on the cover layer. The invention further relates to a method for producing the multi-layer sheet material and to an interior trim part made of a sheet material for a vehicle. For a reduced tendency to yellow under high-temperature aging and for greater color fastness, the polyvinyl chloride fraction in the cover layer is based at least 50 wt% on a polyvinyl chloride that was produced according to the method of suspension polymerization (S-PVC), and the composition for the cover layer comprises a calcium hydroxide stabilizer and/or a Ca/Zn stabilizer that contains 1 to 3 wt% calcium and 1 to 2 wt% zinc.
