ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating an automotive interior component. The automotive interior component consists of a laminated structure comprising a resin core member having a certain rigidity, a high density polyurethane foam layer, and a soft surface skin member. Since the high density polyurethane foam is bonded over the reverse surface of the surface skin member which is typically lined by a soft foam layer for giving a soft feel, it is possible to bond the surface skin member over the resin core member at the same time as mold press forming the resin core member from semi molten resin owing to the heat insulation and barrier capabilities of the high density polyurethane foam layer. Since the conduction of heat from the semi molten resin to the soft foam layer of the surface skin member is avoided, and the press pressure is mitigated so that the collapsing of the foam layer during the press molding process is prevented. The present invention further offers the advantage of simplifying the fabrication process by thus accomplishing the bonding of the surface skin member over the resin core member and the mold press forming of the resin core member at the same time as a single step.
