  • Publication number: 20130196138
    Abstract: The invention relates to a filamentized fiber reinforced putty compound, to parts made from said putty, and to devices and methods for manufacturing both the putty and the parts. The compound of the invention is formed by a chopped fibers composition including monofilaments that have been broken down from chopped strands and a UV and/or chemical curable resin composition and is a ready-to-mold plastic putty used in molding, mainly by continuous lamination/pultrusion/extrusion and injection.

  • Patent number: 7160605
    Abstract: A decorated panel and a process for manufacturing a decorated panel are disclosed. The decorated panel comprises a multi-layered system of linking, printing and finishing films laminated on opposite sides of a structural core formed of a fiber layer impregnated with synthetic resin. The multi-layered system of plastic films allows the creation of new optical effects which include reproduction of the same color tones under different lighting conditions, pre-arranged superimposition of complementary images, double-sided printing, a combination of translucency and opacity, as well as other graphic possibilities. These panels are used for visual communication, advertising, signs, architecture and other applications.

  • Publication number: 20040096687
    Abstract: A continuous process for manufacturing decorative panels includes the steps of forming a first continuous fiber reinforced resin layer, laying a continuous decorated sheet on the first fiber reinforced resin layer, forming a second continuous fiber reinforced resin layer on the continuous decorated sheet, eliminating a substratum of the decorated sheet so that the first and second fiber reinforced resin layers can join one another to form a continuous consolidated strip of fiber reinforced resin with an image suspended therein, curing the continuous consolidated strip, and cutting a panel from the continuous consolidated strip. The first fiber reinforced resin layer is preferably at least partially cured in a first curing step before the second fiber reinforced resin layer is formed.
