Patent number: 10590658Abstract: A thermoplastic composite sheet for exterior cladding applications includes an outer layer with a thermoplastic resin composition reinforced with a high aspect ratio filler such that the outer layer has a coefficient of linear thermal expansion of no more than approximately 2.33×10?5 in/in/deg F., and a backing layer bonded to the outer layer, the backing layer defined by a foam material. The outer layer and the backing later define a body having a substantially planar outer surface.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Associated Materials, LLCInventors: Charles Bryan Moses, Jr., Michael Danny Ziemer, Randall Jay Brown, Nicholas Daniel Thompson, Daniel H. Green

Patent number: 8597016Abstract: A system for producing a pultruded component includes a fixture for providing fibrous reinforcements, a system for providing a polymeric resin, and an impregnation die for coating the fibrous reinforcements with the polymeric resin precursor. The impregnation die includes a first chamber and a second chamber. The fibrous reinforcements include fiber tows made of a plurality of fibers. The system also includes a curing die for forming the pultruded component. The first chamber of the impregnation die is configured for coating exterior surfaces of the fiber tows with the polymeric resin precursor. The second chamber of the impregnation die is configured for coating the plurality of fibers within the fiber tows with the polymeric resin precursor.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2005Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Milgard Manufacturing IncorporatedInventors: Randall Jay Brown, Semen Kharchenko, Harry D. Coffee, Icheng Huang

Patent number: 8101107Abstract: A method for producing a pultruded component includes providing a plurality of fiber tows each formed of a plurality of fibers. The method also includes providing a first chamber and a second chamber for wetting the plurality of fiber tows with a polymeric resin precursor. The method further includes pulling the plurality of fiber tows through a first chamber to wet their exterior surfaces with the polymeric resin precursor, pulling the plurality of fiber tows through a second chamber to wet the plurality of fibers within each tow, and pulling the wetted plurality of tows and fibers through a curing die to form the pultruded component.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2005Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Milgard Manufacturing IncorporatedInventors: Randall Jay Brown, Semen Kharchenko, Harry D. Coffee, Icheng Huang
