Automobile instrument panel surface material and method of manufacturing same

An automobile instrument panel surface material, comprising:

• a microfiber having an average single fiber diameter of 0.3 to 7 μm;
• and
• polyurethane containing a UV absorber having a vapor pressure of 5.0×10 E-6 Pa or less at 20° C.;
• and
• 0.01 to 0.1% by mass of a silicone oil in mass percentage relative to a total mass of the microfiber and the polyurethane,
• wherein the polyurethane containing the UV absorber is coated with the silicone oil and does not contain the silicone oil, and
• wherein the automobile instrument panel surface material has 1) a content of the UV absorber of 0.01 to 5% by mass in mass percentage relative to the polyurethane, 2) nap formed of the microfiber,
• 3) light fastnesses measured according to a light fastness measurement method of JIS L 0843:2006 under conditions of a xenon arc intensity of 110 MJ/m2, a fading by gray scale evaluation of grade 3.5 or higher, and
• 4) a glass haze of 10.0% or less as measured according to a glass haze evaluation method of ISO 6452:2007 under conditions of a heating temperature of 100° C. and a heating time of 20 hours.
