TY - JOUR AU - Frank, W. AB - Thermoformable Foam Polyurethane for the of Manufacturing Headliners and Other Automotive Interior Trim Parts W. FRANK BASFAG Federal Republic of Germany INTRODUCTION for the of a thermoformable foam starting point development T he was the demand of the automotive for sound (TF-foam) industry materials for headliners and covers. Additional absorbing engine are the ease of installation of the finished and an requirements part low material combined with a maximum of free- energy saving weight in dom design. surface such as covers Large parts headliners, engine compartment or trim with wall thicknesses of 1-6 mm are difficult to panels produce since densities would result. In addition it is in-foam-molding very high difficult to and fill molds with very completely uniformly relatively blends if at at high-viscosity polyurethane and, all, possible only high That is the customer wants to be able to pressure. why press large numbers of such on tools semi- large-surface parts simple press using finished slabstock sheets. All these are met our TF- requirements by foam Elastoflex W. This was at World of the paper presented Polyurethanes Congress 1987, Proceedings Federal of 29-October 1987.
