Patent ID: 6986854

Claim:
A method for reprocessing a molded article laminated with fabric which is made from a first thermoplastic resin and has a fabric, made up of fibers of a second thermoplastic resin adhered to the surface thereof said second thermoplastic resin having a melting temperature higher than a melting point of said first thermoplastic resin, wherein the method comprises the steps: charging an extruder with a crushed product obtained by finely crushing the molded article laminated with fabric wherein said crushed product comprises less than 20% said second thermoplastic resin by weight; melt-blending the crushed product at a temperature, which is greater than said melting point of said second thermoplastic resin and not more than 50° C. above said melting point of said second thermoplastic resin, to thereby produce a blend resin having a microdispersion of said second thermoplastic resin within said first thermoplastic resin, wherein a particle size of said second thermoplastic resin has a volume average diameter of about 10 microns or less; and extruding the blend resin from the extruder to thereby granulate the blend resin.
