  • Process for forming thick ballistic resistant materials
    Patent number: 4929651
    Abstract: A process is provided for manufacturing ballistic resistant composites of an isophthalic thermoset polyester and woven roving made of magnesia aluminosilicate glass fibers. An impregnating solution is provided whereby pregregs can be conveniently formed and then vacuum bag molded. The ingredients in the impregnating solution are critically selected to provide prescribed viscosities after the elapse of certain periods of time and thereby allow the final articles to be formed in an economical and expedient manner.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 10, 1988
    Date of Patent: May 29, 1990
    Assignee: Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation
    Inventors: James V. Gauchel, Edward L. Wilson, Edward J. Kerle

  • Wax-containing unsaturated polyester laminating composition with aromatic tertiary amine
    Patent number: 4296009
    Abstract: Failure of free radical catalyzed unsaturated polyester laminating compositions containing wax for suppression of styrene evaporation, but not more than about 10 weight percent of non-reinforcing filler, to develop interlaminar adhesion as great as similar compositions without wax can be at least partially overcome by incorporating at least about 0.1 weight percent of a tertiary monoamine having a single aromatic group and two alkyl or hydroxyalkyl groups on the amino nitrogen.
