  • Patent number: 5362528
    Abstract: A rotating mold is fed with a flowable mixture of an inorganic filler material powder and a polyester resin for the purpose of generating or building up individual layers. By selecting the rotating speed during the layer buildup a more or less pronounced separation between resin and filler material is produced inside the layer, the value of the separation being selected in accordance with the specific application the component produced is intended to be used for. Subsequently the layer is fed cut glass fibers made to penetrate at least into the innermost resin-enriched region of the generated layer. Owing to this rotational-speed-controlled distribution of fiber material and resin inside the layers, larger values of mechanical strength may be obtained with reduced glass requirements. Any "strain-corrosion" may be avoided by using filler materials containing carbonate.
