Title
Plastic Roll Goods
GM Worldwide
Publication Date:
Sep 1, 2009
Scope:
Material Description. Plastic Roll Goods (PRG)
consist of two basic construction types, Supported and Unsupported.
PRG materials shall be compounded to be flexible, free from
tackiness, and compatible with other PRG materials and coated
genuine leather. Plastic rolled goods must be free from pinholes,
pitting or dimpling. The material must be capable of being
routinely handled in the manufacturing process without damage.
Supported PRG (Artificial Leather). The
material shall consist of a synthetic resin skin such as PVC
(Polyvinyl Chloride), TPO (Thermoplastic Olefin) or PUR
(Polyurethane), supported by a textile fabric. The material may
also include a laminated foam or foam/scrim back-layer. These
materials are typically processed by cut and sew, wrapping, and low
pressure molding.
Unsupported PRG (Foil, Compact
Sheet). The material shall consist of a synthetic resin
skin such as Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO),
or Polyurethane (PUR), with no fabric backing, but may include a
foam back-layer (bilaminate), or a foam/skin back-layer
(trilaminate). These materials are typically processed by methods
such as vacuum thermoforming and low pressure molding.
Symbols. The finish symbol code defines the
material construction and will be assigned by the responsible
department. Trim materials are described by finish symbols which
define the commodity, construction code, backings, gloss, grain,
and color. The construction code is a unique identifier of the
technology used to make a particular product. The construction code
is described in detail on the appropriate completed Supported,
Unsupported, or Laminated Construction Specification data
sheet.
Note: See Appendix B, Data Sheets B1, B2, and
B3 for examples of the Construction Specification Data Sheets.

Typical Applications. Seat, armrest, console,
door insert, door panel, instrument panel, garnish molding,
security screen, sunshade, shift/brake boots and steering
wheel/shift knob.
Note: For requirements for vehicles without
solar absorbing glass, contact the appropriate Materials Engineer.
All interior materials are developed to be used in vehicles with
solar glass; therefore performance may be compromised if used in
non solar glass vehicles.
Remarks. Not applicable.
