  • Publication number: 20230303013
    Abstract: A vehicle interior or exterior member includes a base material layer laminated with a sound-absorbing layer. The base material layer is a fiber molded body containing a thermoplastic synthetic resin. The sound-absorbing layer includes a fiber web and a cover layer. The cover layer is a nonwoven fabric containing a thermoplastic synthetic fibers and covers the fiber web. The vehicle interior or exterior member includes a bonding portion, a sound-absorbing portion, and a crimped portion. The bonding portion includes the thermoplastic synthetic fibers on the surface of the sound-absorbing layer in contact with the thermoplastic synthetic resin in the base material layer thermally being bonded to each other. At a position separated from the base material layer, the sound-absorbing portion remains in a fiber web state.

  • Publication number: 20230219505
    Abstract: A sound-absorbing material attached to a vehicle exterior member which comprises an intermediate layer having a fiber web of entangled thermoplastic synthetic fibers, and a skin layer having a nonwoven fabric containing thermoplastic synthetic fibers, the layers being laminated with each other. A peripheral edge portion is heat-compressed in a state where the intermediate layer and the skin layer are layered. A crimped portion is heat-compressed in the thickness direction. A plurality of the crimped portions are provided on at least a part of the surface of the intermediate layer laminated with the skin layer and positioned within the peripheral edge portion. A sound-absorbing portion is a portion in which the intermediate layer and the skin layer are laminated in a state where the fiber web is compressed thinner than its natural thickness by the crimped portions.
