Heat-protected thermoplastic component, particularly a vehicle underside component with integrated heat-protection

摘要

A component for use in thermally stressed areas of vehicles, e.g. in the area of the engine compartment underside, comprises a thermoplastic part i.e. a supporting layer ( 2 ) that is thermally protected by a metallic foil ( 3 ). In order to improve the adherence of the metallic foil ( 3 ), the metallic foil ( 3 ) is provided with a multitude of folding pockets ( 4 ) anchored in the thermoplastic material of the supporting layer ( 2 ). This creates a positive connection between the metallic foil ( 3 ) and the supporting layer ( 2 ).
