Provided is a vinyl chloride resin composition that can form a vinyl chloride resin molded product having excellent adhesiveness to a foamed polyurethane molded product. The vinyl chloride resin composition contains a vinyl chloride resin, a plasticizer, and a vinyl chloride-(meth)acrylate copolymer.

An insert component for an interior component of a vehicle, where the interior component includes a molded skin element and a foam body which is introduced between the insert component and the molded skin element using a foaming process. The insert component has a body portion in order to remain in the interior component and an edge section for supporting the production of the interior component. The edge section at least in a first portion has a lesser thickness as compared to the body portion.

A method for producing a three-dimensionally shaped trim part of a motor vehicle, which has a visible side and a mounting side. A flowable material is injected with pressure into a chamber of an injection molding tool, which has at least two mold shells, which, when assembled, form the chamber with a negative mold of the trim part, wherein at least one first of the mold shells forms the visible side and at least one second of the mold shells forms the mounting side of the trim part. The material is hardened in the chamber. A gas pressure is generated that acts in a planar manner between the second mold shell and the material during the hardening. The hardened material is removed as a trim part from the chamber of the injection molding tool.

The invention relates to a method for producing a trim part (10) for vehicles, using an injection mold (1), in which an edge of a carrier substrate is formed by the surface cover layer (8) reaching around said edge by means of a lost seal molded to the carrier substrate.

A composite structure includes a foam core formed from a first polymer and between about 0.5 wt. % and about 2.5 wt. % graphene. The foam core has an average pore size between about 25 μm and about 75 μm, and a cell density between about 4×10.sup.6 cells/mm.sup.2 and about 6×10.sup.6 cells/mm.sup.2. Also, an overmolded skin formed from a second polymer and between about 0.25 wt. % and about 5.0 wt. % graphene is disposed on the foam core. A method of manufacturing a composite structure includes injection molding a foam core from a first polymer containing between about 0.25 wt. % and about 5.0 wt. % graphene, and injection molding an overmolded skin from a second polymer containing graphene between about 0.25 wt. % and about 5.0 wt. % graphene.

A mold, system and method for manufacturing a part includes injection molding a substrate in a single injection mold and optionally trimming the panel substrate. The substrate can have a first configuration or a second, different configuration. Trimming of the substrate can occur when the substrate has the first configuration to define an aperture in the substrate.

“IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCED IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING THERMO-STRUCTURAL COMPOSITES”, resulting from the union of various synthetic materials (F), which go through a phase of couplings (union of materials), to be subsequently heated and pressed into molds (M) of specific size for each part to be molded, at temperatures and pressure suitable for the fusion of these elements, featured by the fact that the thereto-structural composite (1) is obtained from the formation of the substrate (S), with the synthetic fiber molding (F), foams, etc., preferably Non-Woven (NW-TNT)+PE Film+Fiberglass+Semi-Rigid PU Foam embedded in a chemical formulation (FO) of Diphenylmethane Diisocyanate (MDI) in a ratio of 30% to 80% and Methylene Chloride (CM) in the ratio of 20% to 70%; and for processing the product, a catalyst prepared from Dabco Cristal in the ratio of 1% to 30% is used; by adding 70% to 99% water, said substrate (S) may, during the hot-molding phase, receive the addition of finishes (5) and, after the molding phase, receive the addition of minor and complementary structural elements (6).

A polyurethane-based display, in particular for a vehicle, includes a decorative element with at least one cutout. At least one printed sheet is disposed in the at least one cutout such that the printed part of the printed sheet is visible. The printed sheet is coated with a first polyurethane layer.

A decorative element for the exterior of a vehicle includes a first component made of a first plastic and a second component made of a second plastic. The components are connected together, where the second component forms a translucent region, the first plastic can be galvanized, and the second plastic is made of silicone. A vehicle includes such a decorative element and a method is provided to produce the decorative element.

Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing heating elements for vehicle interior materials, which includes forming a base part having the same shape as a curved surface of a subject, forming an electrode part on an upper surface of the base part, and stacking a heating part on upper surfaces of the base part and electrode part. Accordingly, the heating element is manufactured in advance to have the same shape as the curved surface of the subject and then adhered to the subject so that the heating element is overlapped on and pressed against the subject without deformation. Thus, it is possible to make overall temperature distribution uniform and improve product quality.
