Interior paneling component for a motor vehicle

A molded part comprising:

• an interior panel component for a motor vehicle, the interior panel component having
• a core having two sides, the core provided entirely by a nonwoven mat including a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers and thermoplastic binding fibers, wherein the core is formed from a precompressed core compressed from a first thickness to a reduced thickness less than the first thickness, and then press molded to a further reduced thickness which is less than the precompressed reduced thickness, and wherein at least a portion of the thermoplastic binding fibers melt bond the precompressed core when compressed from the first thickness to the reduced thickness less than the first thickness;
• and
• a UV resistant thermoplastic cover layer, wherein the cover layer is manufactured from a thermoplastic foil and the foil has a thickness of approximately 10 μm to 300 μm and provides a closed surface layer on an entire first side of the two sides of the core resistant to penetration of fluids into said interior panel component;
• wherein at least a portion of the thermoplastic binding fibers of the core and the cover layer are fused together by a melt bond of the thermoplastic binding fibers of the core to the cover layer and the cover layer is such that the molded part has a visible surface which is terminated by the cover layer;
• wherein a second side of the two sides of the core forms a further surface of the molded part, wherein the further surface and the visible surface are disposed on opposite sides of the molded part;
• wherein the fibers of the nonwoven mat contribute to shaping an external appearance of the molded part such that the visible surface of said closed surface cover layer is at least shaped by the fibers of the nonwoven mat;
• wherein the fibers of the non-woven mat form a physical impression in the visible surface of the cover layer, whereby individual fibers of the non-woven mat form the physical impression in the visible surface of the cover layer.
