Investigating the Effect of Fabric and Lamination-Foam Properties on the Air Permeability of Laminated Headrest Fabrics

In automotive industry, vehicle seat has been came first to mind at beginning of components that is encounter directly with customer. The customers have many expectations in terms aesthetics, functionality and comfort from the seats vehicle. When considering car seats, backrest, cushion, headrest foam upholstery are place top list. a composite structure by including fabric, lamination backing scrim. This combined using techniques such as traditional method or in-situ technology. method, trimmed on product’s foam. technology, PU injected into ready-placed upholstery. advantage in-stu technology make perfect trimming for curved designs. Especially headrest, it preferred concave shapes distance effects also safety between driver's head headrest. process, an overflow failure may occure surface polyurethane (PU) high pressure during process. Overflow not required main automobile producers aesthetical aspect quality point view. this study, evaluated effect fabric failure. evaluation behaviour foam, types were tested regarding weight measurement, peeling strength air permeability.
