Abstract
In a method for producing a lining part, in particular for the interior of a vehicle, a support substrate is positioned opposite a flexible decorative layer with the interposition of a foam coating, and the support substrate is adhesively connected thereto, wherein the raw foam compound used to form the foam layer is foamed using a gas as a physical blowing agent and is applied onto the rear face of the decorative layer and/or the support substrate face facing the decorative layer in the form of an expanded foam. As long as the expanded foam coating is still flowable, the support substrate is positioned at a defined distance to the rear face of the decorative layer with the interposition of the expanded foam coating so that the decorative layer is connected to the support substrate by the foam coating and is held until the cross-linking process of the foam coating has at least mostly concluded, wherein a part of the foam layer which fills the original distance between the decorative layer and the support substrate is displaced and plastically compressed at least in some regions by the support substrate during the process of positioning same.
