Title: Fiber reinforced plastic material and method of preparing
Filed: 1961-04-20
Abstract: 921,551. Fibre-reinforced mouldable products. JOHNS-MANVILLE CORPORATION. April 20, 1961 [May 18, 1960], No. 14239/61. Class 42 (2). A method of producing a fibre-reinforced mouldable product of a thermosetting resin matrix is characterized by the steps of forming a loose non-woven fibrous mat, treating the mat with a solution containing a thermosetting resin and an organic liquid solvent, partially drying and partially curing the resin to partially remove the solvent, to produce a pliable, hand mouldable product containing entrapped solvent, said solvent being entrapped by the partially cured resin. As shown (Fig. 2) chrysotile asbestos fibres 9 in hopper 10 are transferred on to pinlifting apron 14 by travelling apron 16 whence they are discharged by doffer 18 to fall on to conveyer 20 leading to picking and forming machine 22. Rolls 24 and 26 feed the fibres to pin beater 28 which draws the fibres downwards and then throws them upwards into an air stream in chamber 30, whereby they are directed on to perforated condenser rolls 32 and 34 and there formed into a mat which may be fed by rolls 42, 43 and 44 into a second picker machine (not shown) operating similarly to machine 22. A plurality of mats are then combined in layer form with one layer being dusted with a fire retardant filler or opacifier consisting of a titanium compound, and are placed on screen 50 and immersed in impregnating solution 52 in tank 54 (Fig. 3). The fibres thereupon dissociate and float to the top of the solution to form an integrated matrix. The impregnated mat is removed from the solution, allowed to drain and then placed upon foraminous shelf 58 of rack 60 (Fig. 4) within enclosure 62 having air inlet ducts 66 and there dried to the point of containing about 10% of entrapped solvent. The treated felt may be used as preform material, for example as shown in Fig. 6, where strips 41 of the felt are laid in mould cavity 70, being worked by hand to form overlapping joints 72 resulting, after final curing by heat and/or pressure, in a substantially homogeneous final product as shown in Fig. 7. Suitable resins are phenol-formaldehyde, phenol-furfural, m-cresol formaldehyde, xylenol formaldehyde, resorcinolformaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, aminotriazine - aldehyde, melamine - formaldehyde, unsaturated polyester resins such as those made from ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, 2-3 butanediol and unsaturated dibasic acids such as citraconic, maleic, fumaric and itaconic acids, epoxy resins such as bisphenol A epichlorhydrin and 1-2 epoxy resins containing ethers of polyhydric alcohols such as diglycidyl ether of ethylene glycol. Suitable solvents are ethyl alcohol, methyl-ethyl-ketone, benzene and gasoline. Suitable fibres are asbestos, glass and mineral wool. Synthetic fibres may also be used. The felt may also incorporate fillers, pigments and opacifiers such as potassium titanate fibres, tungsten fibres, carbon fibres, aluminium silicate fibres.
