Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to vehicle headliners, and more particularly to laminated panel and core compositions, illustratively for use therein.
- Vehicle headliners are known in the art. Such headliners are typically used to provide sound absorption, padding, and aesthetics to the ceiling of a vehicle. Conventionally, vehicle headliners have sufficient impact absorption and sound absorption, as well as the ability to receive any variety of aesthetically pleasing coverings. Because of the varied environments that vehicle headlmers are exposed to, however, heat stability can also be a relevant factor to consider. Since vehicle headliners, for the most part, are located at the uppermost portion of a vehicle passenger compartment, any heat that is generated in that compartment would rise to that upper location and possibly affect the headliner. Consequently, vehicle headliners that are located in, or are subject to, prolonged elevated temperature environments should be dimensionally heat stable.
- the headliner comprises a core layer having first and second surfaces, and first and second permeability-resistance layers.
- the core layer comprises a binding resin, randomly-oriented sisal fibers, and randomly-oriented natural filler fibers.

- Fig. 10 is a sectional view in panel form of another illustrative embodiment of a laminated composite.
- FIG. 1 A sectional view in panel form of a core layer 2 is shown in Fig. 1.
- the core layer 2 can serve as the base for any variety of laminated composite panels. One particular use of such panels is for the vehicle headliner application.
- the core layer 2 comprises a formulation including about 30 percent polypropylene containing about 5 percent is maleic anhydride.
- the maleic anhydride is a coupling agent, and helps distribute the polypropylene and all the materials in the composition.
- the core layer 2 also comprises about 30 percent sisal fiber which provides stiffness as well as loft and standoff in high temperature environments. Also included is about 40 percent natural fibers which may be hemp, kenaf, or jute, for example.
- the natural fibers serve as a filler in combination with the sisal fiber.
- the natural fibers are non-directionally disbursed in the layer.
- the core layer 2 has an illustrative density of about 800 grams per meter square. It is appreciated, however, that the density of this composition may vary from about 400 grams per meter square to up above 1000 grams per meter square, for example. Other densities may work as well.
- the amounts of polypropylene, sisal fibers, and other natural fibers may too vary. In the case of polypropylene, there can be about a 5 percent or more variation in range. This will depend on the particular application, keeping in mind any bonding requirements for that application. The variation of the sisal and other natural fibers may too vary by about 5 percent or more.
- the amount of polypropylene can vary from about 25 to about 35 weight percent
- the sisal can vary from about 35 to about 45 weight percent
- the amount of natural fibers may vary from about 25 to about 35 weight percent.
- the laminated compositions described herein are characterized as panels. These panels can be formed by any variety of lamination methods, including for example, the methods described in U.S. Patent Application, Serial No. 10/287,250, filed on November 4, 2002, entitled Process, Composition and Coating of Laminate Material, the disclosure of which has been incorporated herein by reference.
- panels in their pre-formed state are layered mats, which are, too, contemplated within the scope of this invention.
- the film and layer thicknesses disclosed herein are done so at the pre-formed stage.
- the 2, 3 or 4 mil film layers are identified as such even though their thicknesses may be reduced during manufacture into panels. These thicknesses are identified to teach the illustrative components used to create the resulting panel.
- this base material may comprise the formulation of about 30 percent polypropylene, about 30 percent sisal fiber, and about 40 percent other natural fibers.
- a core layer of any embodiment may comprise a top surface 3 and a bottom surface 5, wherein each receives a thin film layer 4, illustratively of polypropylene.
- This film layer 4 can provide adhesiveness to other composite layers, as well as provide water and air permeability resistance to the core layer 2. This permeability resistance inhibits exposure of the natural fibers to air and water, for example, to prevent the natural fibers from creating odors or mildewing.
- core layer 2 may comprise about
- polypropylene fibers 10 percent by weight polypropylene fibers, illustratively comprising about 95 percent total weight generic polypropylene, and about 5 percent maleic anhydride, about 15 percent by weight kenaf or similar natural fibers, such as hemp, flax, or jute, about 45 percent by weight bi-component polyester fiber that is low melt (about 240 to 300 degrees F), and about 30 percent by weight single component polyester fiber that is high melt (440 degrees F).
- the bi-component polyester may be a blend of about 50 percent high melt (440 degree F) polyester with about 50 percent low melt polyester (240 to 300 degrees F). This blend can assist in permitting control of the polypropylene movement during the heat phase of the laminating process.
- the high melt polyester fibers in the layers described herein may comprise an outer sheath of low melt polyester (240 to 347 degrees F). It is appreciated that for these embodiments, other couplers may be substituted in place of maleic anhydride.
- the natural fibers can be pretreated with an anti-fungal/anti-micro bacterial agent. This is illustratively done prior to blending.
- core layer 2 may comprise about 30 percent by weight polypropylene fibers which itself illustratively comprises about 95 percent generic polypropylene and about 5 percent maleic anhydride.

- core layer 2 Formed on one of the polypropylene layers 4, opposite the core layer 2, is a fiberglass layer 8.
- the fiberglass layer is, illustratively, a 40 grams per meter square chopped strand glass.
- This layer 10 is illustratively a 1 ounce per yard square polypropylene layer.
- Another 40 gram fiberglass layer 8 is located over the polypropylene layer 10.
- FIG. 3 An illustrative example of such a system is an Owens-Corning® brand fiberglass product.
- This glass layer is one 40 gram layer of chopped glass fiber (e glass), one layer of polypropylene spun bond and one additional layer of 40 gram chopped glass.
- the combined layers are then hot calendared causing consolidation of the three layers into one.
- the spun bond polypropylene layer can be substituted with a 2 mil polypropylene film layer.
- FIG. 3 A sectional view of another illustrative embodiment of a laminated composite panel 12 is shown in Fig. 3.
- the illustrative panel 12 is similar to the illustrative panel 6 shown in Fig.

- a 4 mil polypropylene film layer 18 is located on the lower surface of polyester weave layer 16, opposite core layer 2. This polypropylene layer 18 serves to seal the polyester weave layer 16 as well as the core layer 2.
- This illustrative embodiment has shown to be quite rigid under environmental testing conditions. For example, in one such test, the laminated composite panel 14 was subjected to a temperature of 95 degrees C. After the panel was allowed to cool for one hour to an ambient temperature of 23 degrees C, a cantilever test was conducted revealing a sag of about 1.27 millimeters. This is within a target deflection range of about 10 millimeters for a headliner application.
- polyester weave layer 16 can be substituted with a cellulous fiber and polypropylene weave layer.

Conducting an environmental cantilever test on this embodiment produced a deflection of about 15.69 millimeters which is above the desired range of maximum deflection of 10 millimeters for a headliner application, but would be within tolerance for other uses that may not require such high temperature resistance.
- FIG. 7 A sectional view of another illustrative embodiment of a composite panel 26 is shown in Fig. 7.
- Panel 26 comprises a core layer 2 bounded on both the upper and lower surfaces 3 and 5, respectively, by 2 mil polypropylene film layers 4, which are themselves bounded on their outer surfaces by 130 gram creped paper 22. Similar to the previous embodiment shown in Fig. 6, panel 26 demonstrated a deflection of about 12.7 millimeters in an environmental cantilever test. This is above the desired maximum deflection of 10 millimeters for headliner applications. Panel 26, similar to panel 24, however, may be used in applications where the temperature resistance is not as critical.
- FIG. 8 A sectional view of another illustrative embodiment of a laminated composite panel 28 is shown in Fig. 8.

- FIG. 9 A sectional view of another illustrative embodiment of a laminated composite panel 30 is shown in Fig. 9.
- Panel 30 comprises a core layer 2 with its upper surface 3 bounded by a layer of about 3 mil nylon film 32.
- On the lower surface 5 of core layer 2 is a 50 gram polyester weave layer 16.
- the density of core layer 2 is about 1000 grams per meter square. It is appreciated, however, that the densities can be varied for any particular application.
- the lowermost layer applied to the surface of polyester weave layer 16, opposite surface 5 of core layer 2, is a 4 mil polypropylene film layer 34.
- the polypropylene film layer 34 serves as the lower barrier to resist moisture and air from contacting both weave layer 16 and core layer 2, whereas the upper nylon film layer 32 serves the same purpose for the upper surface 3 of core layer 2.
- panel 30 when panel 30 is subjected to an environmental cantilever test, it was shown to deflect about 10.16 millimeters, approximately the maximum for a particular headliner application.
- FIG. 10 A sectional view of another illustrative embodiment of a laminated composite panel 36 is shown in Fig. 10.
- the illustrative panel 36 comprises a core layer 2, illustratively having about a 1000 grams per meter square density with an about 3 mil nylon film 32 bounding the core layer's 2 upper surface 3, and a 2 mil polypropylene film layer 4 bounding the core layer's 2 lower surface 5.
- Bounding the upper surface of the nylon film's 32 upper surface, opposite surface 5 of core layer 2 is a 50 gram polyester weave 16.
- the lowermost surface of film layer 4, opposite core layer 2 is a 130 grams per millimeter square creped paper layer 22.
- An environmental cantilever test conducted on panel 36 showed a deflection of about 10.16 millimeters. It is appreciated that the film thickness of this embodiment, as well as the other embodiments, are approximations. The thicknesses may vary depending on the composition of the film, as well as its permeability resistance.
