Patent ID: 8530548

Claim:
A shaped or moulded part which is produced by moulding a fibre-reinforced thermoplastic material including: a) a shredded airlaid cellulose fibre material in b) a thermoplastic matrix, characterised in that the airlaid cellulose fibre material contains fibres sheathed with a thermoplastic material as a binder for maintaining a bond between fibres of the airlaid cellulose fibre material, wherein the binder is in the form of bi-component fibres with a core of polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate, with an outer layer made from polyethylene, in the form of multi-component fibres with a polymer with a low melting point or in the form of polyester-copolyester core-sheath fibres with a sheath made from copolyester, wherein the tensile and flexural strength of the part is greater than the tesile and flexural strength of a part reinforced by cellulose fibres of fibrous pulp which are not subjected to an airlaid process and also greater than the tensile and flexural strength of thermoplastic materials mixed with wood dust.
