Abstract
A textile composite material for lamination, in particular a textile composite material for lamination of a seat cover, with at least one nonwoven fabric component and with at least one foam material component which is connected to the nonwoven fabric component, wherein the nonwoven fabric component and the foam material component are mechanically connected to each other. The nonwoven fabric component and the foam material component may be needled with each other, wherein a holding force between the nonwoven fabric component and the foam material component, which acts counter to a foam-nonwoven separating force, is greater than 1 N.
