Corrugated paperboard automative liner.

摘要

An automotive headliner comprised of a laminate of double corrugated paperboard. Perforations in all the sheets of the laminate except the back paperboard sheet improve the acoustical performance of the liner. A vapor barrier (27) on the back sheet (18) prevents entry of moisture into the laminate from the roof, and a layer of sound dampening material (36) on the front face of the laminate improves the sound absorption of the laminate. The front corrugation (22) is larger than the back corrugation (24). When molding the laminate it is first moisturized, then heat molded. Heat is applied until the laminate has regained its rigidity.
