<p>Strip curved in at least one plane is intended esp. for decorating the interior of automobiles, for example for trimming the dashboard or top of a door. The strip comprises a visible outer layer of natural veneer, backed by a support layer at least 2 (pref. 3) mm thick of plastics, more specifically polycarbonate. The strip may be curved in two mutually perpendicular planes, with a curvature in the direction of the grain not exceeding 1.0-1.5 cm in radius and perpendicular to the grain not exceeding 0.5-1.0 cm in radius. The preferred prodn. method consists of placing the natural veneer strip in an injection mould, then injecting with plastics at high pressure, followed by cooling. The preferred pressure is at least 100 (150) bar. The resultant strip has the appearance of natural wood but is inexpensive and simple to mfr..</p> |
