  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING A HOLLOW STRUCTURAL PART MADE OF FIBER-REINFORCED PLASTIC
    Publication number: 20100212816
    Abstract: For production of a hollow structural part made of fiber-reinforced plastic, a water-dispersible support core made of a water-soluble binding agent consisting at least partly of a water-soluble silicate-containing binding agent, and a filler is wrapped with the reinforcing fibers. The fibers on the support core are impregnated with a curable plastic, the plastic is cured, and the support core is subsequently flushed out with water.
