Flexible lamnated surface material and method of producing the same.

摘要

A flexible laminated surface material for, e.g., a vehicle seat, has an outer material (26) and a laminate wadding (21) composed of a fibrous web (22) and a nonwoven fabric sheet (23) that are together needle punched. Parts of filaments of the web (22) penetrate through the nonwoven fabric sheet (23), thus forming many small protrusions (22a) on the nonwoven fabric sheet (23). The structure formed of the nonwoven fabric sheet (23) and the fiber protrusions (22a) of the web (22) enables strong adhesion to the outer material (26) and yet substantially prevents deterioration of the texture or stretchability of the outer material (26). The outer material (26) is adhered, using entire area or spot adhesion techniques, to the nonwoven fabric sheet side of the wadding (21) with a substantial adhesion strength. By varying the amount of the adhesion applied, different types of adhesion can be achieved.
