Abstract

A chopped fiberglass containing laminate (21) for fabricating sound absorbing moldable structures, such as an automotive headliner is provided. The laminate includes a nonwoven fine denier thermoplastic fiber scrim (22), a thermoplastic barrier film (23) on one surface and a layer of chopped fiberglass (24) and powder adhesive (26) on the exposed surface of the barrier film. The laminate is combined with a foam core, fiberglass layer and decorative fabric on the fiberglass layer to provide a composite having elongation exceeding 30% in both machine and transverse directions for forming the headliner. An apparatus and method for forming the laminate are also disclosed.
