A laminate including a decorative material (A), a layer of cellular polyisocyanate/polyaddition elastomer (B) giving an outstanding Soft-Touch-Effect to a decorative, e.g. leather surface, combined with excellent residual elasticity is new. A composite structural unit (sic) including a decorative material (A), a layer of cellular polyisocyanate/polyaddition elastomer (CPIE) (B) of residual pressure deformation (sic) of 25% in accordance with DIN 53572, using a 40x40x30 mm test body without a silicone coating, with testing at constant deformation, where the test body is 40% compressed and held in a recirculated air facility (sic) for 22 hours at 80 deg C, after withdrawal from the facility the test device is held for 2 hours in the compressed state, cooled to room temperature, and the test body is withdrawn from the test device, and 10 minutes 30 seconds after withdrawal the height of the test body is measured to 0.1 mm accuracy, and a layer of back sprayed (sic) thermoplastic C. An Independent claim is also included for preparation of the laminate involving placing the material A in a tool mold (sic) with material A on both sides of the tool wall, using a cellular polyisocyanate/polyaddition elastomer (CPIE) (B) of residual pressure deformation (sic) of 25% in accordance with DIN 53572, and a 40x40x30 mm test body without a silicone coating as described above, with final measurement of the height of the test body to an accuracy of 0.1 mm. |
