  • Publication number: 20120156454
    Abstract: Provided is a fiber which is equal to conventional fibers in heat resistance and which, even when heated during thermoforming, maintains the shape thereof and suffers no change in texture. This fiber is suitable for forming an interior automotive member. Also provided is an interior automotive member formed from the fiber. The film-protected fiber comprises: a core fiber constituted of a material having a relatively low melting point; and a protective film which is constituted of a material having a relatively high melting point and with which the periphery of the core fiber is surrounded. Even when the film-protected fiber is thermoformed, at a temperature sufficient for melting the core fiber, into a shape conforming to, e.g., an inner part of an automotive body, the original structure of the fiber can be maintained due to the protective film.
