  • Patent number: 6468629
    Abstract: This invention concerns a multilayer lining material in the form of sheeting which can be cut to size. Such lining materials are used, for example, as floor plates to cover the loading areas of utility vehicles and as floorboards for passenger vehicles. The lining material can be cut to size, so it can also be punched to obtain a shape corresponding to the loading area. A known lining material which is used as a floor plate consists of a wood fiberboard on the bottom side. A laminated material consisting of a TPO compact film (TPO=thermoplastic polyolefins) with a laminated nonwoven bonded to the wood fiberboard. Thus, the lining material consists of three layers. The known lining material has a complicated design because first a nonwoven must be laminated to the TPO compact film and then the wood fiberboard must be glued to the laminated material consisting of the TPO compact film and the nonwoven. This makes production very cost-intensive.
