ABSTRACT:
An interior trim component is formed utilizing an injection molding apparatus having first and second molds. The component includes a laminate and a polymer. The laminate includes a face layer having a finished and unfinished side, an adhesive layer bonded to the unfinished side, and a barrier bonded to the adhesive layer. The barrier includes a non-woven textile weighing at least 80 g/m2. The laminate is positioned in the first mold such that the barrier is exposed to face the second mold. The apparatus is moved into a closed position and a cavity is established between the barrier and the second mold. The polymer is injected into the cavity at a pressure of at least 500 psi. The polymer reacts with the barrier to bond the laminate to the polymer and to form the interior trim component without the polymer penetrating through the barrier and into the face layer.
