Abstract
A vehicle interior lining having good sound absorbing properties and that is permeable to air is formed from an intermediate product comprising an inside decorative layer and a barrier layer made of open-cell foam. The barrier layer adjoins the rear side of the decorative layer. A foam backing is disposed on the rear side of the intermediate product is provided with a foam backing. The barrier layer prevents the foam backing material from penetrating through toward the decorative layer, eliminating the need for a barrier film and improving sound absorption. The interior lining can be used as a roof lining.
