Abstract
A method for forming products such as simulated leather including one or more layers from thermoplastic, thermosetting or elastomer materials all formed by slush-moulding, comprising: forming in a slush-moulding mould a first layer of compacted material representing the exposed layer of the finished product, on said first layer forming a second layer of expandable material by further slush-moulding, completing with heat the consolidation of said layers by gelling and expansion of said second layer, the free face of which has an irregular shape. To the layered material thus formed is coupled a support of rigid material without discontinuity points or regions between them by filling every possible interspace.

A method for forming simulated leather products including one or more layers from thermoplastic, thermosetting or elastomer materials all formed by slush-moulding, comprising:
- forming in a slush-moulding mould a first layer of compacted material representing the exposed layer of the finished product, on said first layer forming a second layer of expandable material by further slush-moulding, completing with heat the consolidation of said layers by gelling and expansion of said second layer the free face of which has an irregular shape, and coupling to the layered material thus formed a support of rigid material which creates discontinuity points or regions between them due to said irregular shape, and filling every possible interspace due to said discontinuity points or regions between said rigid material support and the free face of said expanded second layer.
