  • Patent number: 8936745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a painted substrate (30) using powder paint (21), said substrate being electrically insulating, during which method the following steps are performed in succession: a) a treatment coating (10) is placed on a mold (1), said treatment coating (10) including at least one preparation layer (11, 12) based on an unmolding agent (15, 15?) in contact with said mold (1); b) said treatment coating (10) is electrostatically covered with powder paint (21) in such a manner that said powder paint (21) is attracted towards said mold (1) and is held against the treatment coating (10); c) said powder paint (21) is transformed at least in part in order to obtain a sheet (20) of powder paint (21); and d) said substrate (30) is prepared on said sheet (20) in order to obtain said painted substrate.

  • Patent number: 8563078
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a painted substrate (30) using powder paint (21). The substrate is electrically insulating. The method includes the following steps performed in succession: a) a treatment coating (10) is placed on a mold (1), the treatment coating (10) includes at least one preparation layer having a release agent (15, 15?) in contact with the mold (1); b) the treatment coating (10) is electrostatically covered with powder paint (21) in such a manner that the powder paint (21) is attracted towards the mold (1) and is held against the treatment coating (10); c) the powder paint (21) is transformed at least in part in order to obtain a layer (20) of powder paint (21); and d) the substrate (30) is prepared on the layer (20) of powder paint to form the painted substrate.

  • Patent number: 5160485
    Abstract: A fabric made up of thermoplastic fibers and of reinforcing fibers, comprising, in a superposed manner, at least two tissues (1, 4) joined firmly to each other, in which in order to obtain a thermoplastic fabric, at least one (1) of the superposed tissues is dedicated to reinforcement and comprises predominantly fibers (2, 3) of reinforcing material, and at least one other (4) of the superposed tissues constitutes a thermoplastic matrix and comprises predominantly fibers (5, 6) of thermoplastic resin, while the gap (8) between a reinforcing tissue (1) and an adjacent thermoplastic tissue (4) is free of any inserted material other than that (7) used to join these two tissues firmly together.
