Abstract: A film including a top ply, where at least the top ply contains 15 to 90 phr of at least one ethylene-based polymer having a Mooney viscosity (ML1+4, 121° C.) of 50 to 80 Mooney units and 10 to 85 phr of at least one polypropylene having an ISO 178 flexural modulus of greater than or equal to 400 MPa, and the film may be a single-ply or multi-ply film. In some aspects the ethylene-based polymer has a crystallinity of less than or equal to 30%. The top ply may further include at least one compatibilizer, which has, in some cases, a melt flow index MFI (230° C., 2.16 kg) of 0.1 to 4.0 g/10 min.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a foam film laminate having at least one compact outer layer and at least one layer composed of extruded foamed polymer bound to the outer layer, wherein the production of the layer of foamed polymer is effected in such a way that a polymer material is admixed with a chemical blowing agent which is solid at room temperature and, during or after the extrusion, is heated up to or above the activation temperature of the blowing agent, in order to obtain the layer of foamed polymer, wherein the processes is characterized in that the polymer material contains 5% to 60% by weight of at least one HMS polyolefin having a in accordance with ISO 20965 (as at 15 Feb. 2005, measurement apparatus type A) of 104 to 107 Pa s measured at 190° C. within a range of Hencky strain rate of 0.01 s?1 to 1 s?1 at a Hencky strain of 3.0.

Abstract: The invention relates to a foam-film laminate (1) comprising a compact cover layer with a three-dimensionally-structured or smooth surface (6) on the upper side and a foam layer (5) on the underside of the cover layer, said cover layer (2) comprising an outer layer (3) and an inner layer (4), the outer layer (3) having a thickness in the range of 0.05 to 0.3 mm, the inner layer (4) having a thickness in the range of 0.2 to 0.6 mm and being bonded to the foam layer (5), and said foam layer having a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 2 mm and a density of at least 350 kg/m3. The foam-film laminate is particularly suitable for coating interior trim parts for a motor vehicle in the region of the airbag coverings and in the region of the tear seams of the airbag coverings.

Abstract: A method for producing a multi-layer plastic film comprising at least one compact cover layer and at least one layer which is arranged under the cover layer and made of extruded foamed plastic (foam layer), wherein the compact cover layer is connected to the foam layer thermally or by adhesion after extrusion and cooling of the foam layer to below the melting temperature. The layer made of foamed plastic is generated by blowing a propellent which is under positive pressure into a plastic melt during the extrusion process and by subsequently relaxing the propellent which is under positive pressure, wherein the foamed plastic is at first not cross-linked and is cross-linked together with the compact cover layer, in particular by high-energy radiation, only after the foam layer and the compact cover layer have been connected.
