PANEL ELEMENT, PARTICULARLY FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed is a method for producing a panel element (1), according to which the intermediate space between a planar decorating material (5) and a support (3) is filled with foam. According to the inventive method, the decorating material (5) is pressed in a sealing manner onto the inward-facing surface of the support (3) during foaming so as to encompass the area that is to be filled with foam. In order to be able to evacuate the air that is displaced during foaming through the structure of the support (3), which is foam-tight but not gas-tight, at least in some areas thereof, the support (3) can be made partly gas-tight by locally sealing an initially gas-permeable raw part before being fed to the foaming tool. The invention also relates to a panel element that is produced according to the inventive method.
