Decorated trim element

1. A trim part for the interior of a motor vehicle, comprising:

a substrate and a foil bonded thereto;

said substrate including at least one of polypropylene, acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene, polycarbonate, polyamide, thermoplastic elastomer, and natural rubber;

said foil having a thickness of not greater than 500 micrometers and including a visible surface facing away from said substrate;

said foil including a plurality of layers, wherein a first one of said layers includes a thermoplastic elastomer and polypropylene, the polypropylene is a polypropylene block copolymer and has a melt flow index of less than 1 g/10 minutes, and the proportion of the thermoplastic elastomer is less than or equal to 30%, based on the mixture of thermoplastic elastomer and polypropylene;

said foil including a further layer in addition to said first layer, said further layer including at least one of polystyrene, polystyrene copolymer, polyolefin, polyolefin copolymer, styrene copolymer component, ethylene/propyleneterpolymer/propylene, copolyester, and polyurethane;

said foil including an outer layer in addition to said first layer and said further layer, said outer layer including at least one of polyethylene terephthalate, polymethyl methacrylate, and polycarbonate;

a coating layer applied to said visible surface of said foil, wherein said coating layer includes polyurethane and a thermoplastic different from the polyurethane;

said coating layer has a thickness of 1 to 30 micrometers, a scratch resistance of from 2 N to 25 N, and a gloss level of 0.5 to 4.0; and

the process of forming said trim part comprises the steps of:

inserting said foil layers and said coating layer into a mold in sheet form,

injecting a plastic material into said mold to provide said substrate,

the injecting step including shaping said substrate together with said foil layers and said coating layer, and

the shaping step including forming a grain presenting differences in height along said coating layer facing away from said substrate.

2. The trim part of claim 1 , wherein at least two distinct layers of said foil are bonded to one another by an adhesion promoter.

3. The trim part of claim 1 , wherein one of said layers of said foil is a decorative layer.

4. The trim part of claim 1 , wherein said substrate takes the form of a mat.

5. The trim part of claim 1 , wherein said substrate is processed in the form of a melt, and wherein said substrate includes at least one of polypropylene, acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene, a mixture of polypropylene and acrylonitrile/butadiene/styrene, polyamide, and thermoplastic elastomer.

6. The trim part of claim 5 , wherein said substrate comprises fillers.

7. The trim part of claim 4 , wherein said substrate comprises fibers and/or a binder.

8. The trim part of claim 1 , wherein said thickness of said foil is in the range of about 300 μm to about 400 μm.

9. The trim part of claim 1 , wherein said thickness of said foil is less than or equal to about 300 μM.

10. The trim part of claim 1 , wherein the injecting step includes bonding said foil to said substrate.
