Russian term or phrase: винилискожа теплошумоизоляционная
Из ассортимента выпускаемой предприятием продукции. Насколько я понимаю, речь идет о каком-то кожезаменителе, но, к сожалению, мне не удалось найти точного эквивалента для слова "винилискожа".

leatherette
Explanation:
This is an imitation leather material used in the upholstery of furniture and also in cars and other vehicles. It may be a registered trade mark but I have not been able to find out whether it it or not. Leatherette has a plastic top layer with imitation leather finish and a backing layer of stretch fabric. It is easier to fit than leather because it has more stretch in it.
I am speaking from experience. I used leatherette to make rear seat covers for a Volvo 122s some time about 1975. (The front seat covers were beyond me, I ordered the required amount of leatherette and got a professional seat cover making firm to make them up for me).

heat-noise insulatin vinyl-fur/plush


Explanation:
that is derived from vinyl, second word as much as I understand heat-noise insulating,
heat-noise insulating vinyl-fur but that maybe another thin other than fur: may be a kind of "plush " for coverings or else (maybe carpets or else)
