  • Patent number: 10240017
    Abstract: Composite panel, particularly for forming roof panels of cars and/or industrial vehicles, and method of manufacturing the composite panel, which composite panel includes a core of foamed material, at least one skin layer of nonwoven material, and at least one connecting layer between the core of foamed material and the skin layer of nonwoven material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2012
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2019
    Assignee: SACO AEI Polymers, Inc.
    Inventors: Andrea Savonuzzi, Paolo Steinbach
  • Patent number: 10207472
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermoformable panel for shelves composed of: at least one core plate having a honeycomb structure composed of a plurality of adjacent cells; a coating layer that includes at least one thermoplastic material coupled to the core plate on at least one face of the core plate. The invention envisions using coating films for the honeycomb core plate that improve adhesion between the material of the honeycomb core plate and the coating films, as well as optional finishing layers overlapped thereon, reducing costs in relation to present honeycomb panels by simplifying manufacturing processes, all while maintaining elevated properties of mechanical strength and low density, and therefore a low weight.

  • Publication number: 20060105661
    Abstract: The invention relates to a thermoformable panel. According to the invention, the panel is composed of thermoplastic fibers forming a nonwoven fabric particularly having double crossed, randomized and thermally bonded webs, pressed under heating to cause a partial “melting” of the fibers, i.e. at least a partial loss of their fibrous phase and change into a viscous or viscoelastic phase, the relative distributions of the fraction of fibers that retain the fibrous phase and the fraction of plastic material that took the viscous or viscoelastic state depending on the depth thereof in the sheet thickness. The invention further relates to a formed, especially a highly embossed panel made of a thermoformable plastic material. The latter may be an intermediate semifinished product of a starting material. The invention also relates to a method for fabricating highly embossed panel.
