Automotive crash pad and manufacturing method thereof

A method for manufacturing an automotive crash pad, the automotive crash pad including a skin layer forming an outer surface of the crash pad including an airbag module, a fiber-based layer formed on a lower surface of the skin layer, a cushion layer formed on a lower surface of the fiber-based layer and including slab foam, and a core layer formed on a lower surface of the cushion layer, wherein the automotive crash pad further comprises a first adhesive layer formed between the fiber-based layer and the cushion layer, and a second adhesive layer formed between the cushion layer and the core layer, the method comprising:

• preparing an intermediate by laminating the cushion layer and the core layer together;
• and
• laminating the fiber-based layer and the skin layer onto the intermediate,
• wherein the laminating of the fiber-based layer and the skin layer onto the intermediate includes forming a first adhesive layer between the fiber-based layer and the cushion layer,
• wherein the preparing of the intermediate includes forming a second adhesive layer between the cushion layer and the core layer,
• wherein the laminate of the skin layer and the fiber-based layer have an adhesive strength of 0.3 to 1.2 kgf/cm to the first adhesive layer,
• wherein a laminate of the skin layer and the fiber-based layer has a tensile strength in a transverse direction (TD) of 5 to 50 kgf/3 cm and an elongation at break in the transverse direction (TD) of 40 to 220%,
• wherein the fiber-based layer comprises knitted fabric having a weight of 150 to 200 g/m2 and a density of 0.22 to 0.27 g/cm3, and
• wherein the skin layer has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.4 mm and a tearing strength of 2 to 8 kgf/cm.
