Absorbing sound insulation motor trim element
The invention relates to a method for producing an absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element having a four-layered structure made from a first foam layer, a second foam layer, a non-woven foam layer and a non-woven fabric layer. The invention further relates to an absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element.
1. An absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element comprising a four-layer structure of a first foam layer, a second foam layer, a non-woven layer, and a non-woven fabric layer; wherein the absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element is formed through a process comprising the following steps:
I) providing a non-woven fabric layer having the thickness d;
II) compressing the non-woven fabric layer to a compressed thickness d′;
III) foaming the second foam layer on a top surface of the compressed non-woven fabric layer by means of a first shaping foam half mold, wherein the second foam layer will diffuse into the non-woven fabric layer at least partially to form an intermediate layer with increased density, wherein the intermediate layer consists of a partial thickness of the non-woven fabric layer and the second foam layer;
IV) foaming the first foam layer on a top surface of the second foam layer remote from the non-woven fabric layer;
wherein the first foam layer has a density of from 40 to 60 g/l, a loss factor of 0.15 to 0.26, and a modulus of elasticity of from 45 to 180 kN/m2;
wherein the second foam layer has a density of 40 to 90 g/l, a loss factor from 0.15 to 0.26, and a modulus of elasticity of 20 to 300 kN/m2;
wherein the first and second foam layers have different densities, loss factors and/or modulus of elasticity;
wherein the first foam layer and the second foam layer is loaded with CO 2 ;
wherein
the top surface of the first foam layer and/or the top surface of the second foam layer has a rib structure, wherein the rib structure provides sound insulation at a boundary between the first foam and the second foam layers;
wherein the non-woven fabric layer consists of PET fibers and bicomponent fibers, wherein the proportion of the bicomponent fibers in the non-woven layer is 10% by weight.
2. The absorbing sound insulation motor vehicle trim element according to claim 1 ,
characterized in that
said non-woven fabric layer has a mass per unit area of 800 g/m 2 , or a mass per unit area within a range of from 400 g/m 2 to 1800 g/m 2 , or a mass per unit area within a range of from 600 g/m 2 to 1200 g/m 2 ;
and/or
the intermediate layer has a mass per unit area of 500 g/m 2 , or a mass per unit area within a range of from 300 g/m 2 to 1500 g/m 2 , or a mass per unit area within a range of from 350 g/m 2 to 800 g/m 2 .
