Insulating laminate

A structurally stable, self-supporting insulating acoustical laminate adapted to absorb sound in a range of frequencies, comprising:

• a substrate layer comprising a reinforcing polymeric fiber scrim layer, a polymeric foam lamina bonded to said scrim layer and a lamina of nonwoven polymeric fibers bonded to said polymeric foam lamina;
• a thin relatively dense non-foamed thermoplastic film having a plurality of spaced openings through said film bonded to said lamina of nonwoven fibers;
• and
• a finish lamina bonded to an opposite side of said thermoplastic film.

A vehicle laminate, said laminate being formed of a composite structure, including a finish surface and an opposite substrate support surface, adapted to be attached to a vehicle, said composite structure comprising:

• a finish lamina,
• a fiber mat impregnated with a polymeric resin bonded to said finish lamina, said fiber mat including a blend of fibers of different fineness ranging from 5 to 30 denier,
• a polymeric foam lamina bonded to said fiber mat and a scrim bonded to said foam lamina forming said substrate support surface,
• said scrim comprising randomly arranged non-woven thermoset polymeric filaments having fineness of about 2 to 10 denier, said filaments bonded at the filament junctions forming a support for said laminate and said substrate support surface.
