Ceiling material for vehicles and production process thereof

Abstract

A ceiling material for vehicles, said ceiling material comprises: a core material (11) composed of a resin foamed article; a protective layer (12) comprising a thermoplastic resin blended with fibers in a range of not less than 40% and not more than 80% in volume content; said protective layer (12) being provided on at least one surface of the core material (11); and a thin sheet-shaped surface material (14) provided on the surface of the protective layer (12). A process of producing ceiling materials for vehicles, which comprises the steps of: a material sheet of a protective layer comprising a thermoplastic resin blended with fibers in a range of not less than 40% and not more than 80% in volume content being heated to not less than a glass transition point of the thermoplastic resin; said material sheet being overlaid with a core material sheet composed of a resin foamed article; a surface material being on the core material sheet; and pressuring and shaping said protective layer, said core material sheet, and said surface material which have been overlaid using a molding mold.
