  • Patent number: 8637598
    Abstract: A long-fiber-reinforced, thermoplastic molding compound of plastics material has outstanding impact strength and notched impact strength if it contains 30 to 90% by weight of at least one thermoplastic polyolefin, 9 to 69% by weight of at least one glass-like reinforcing fiber and 1 to 30% by weight of at least one mineral filler of an average particle size in the range from 0.1 to 2 ?m. The molding compound is produced by the pultrusion method and is used in the production of domestic appliances such as washing machines or washer-dryers or electrical appliances such as coffeemakers or toasters or refrigerators or in automobile construction.

  • Publication number: 20060204739
    Abstract: A pultrusion process is described, in which a strand composed of a multifilament-reinforced first thermoplastic molding composition is produced, sheathed by a layer composed of a second thermoplastic molding composition. The first molding composition here comprises a catalyst which catalyzes the formation of covalent bonds between the thermoplastic polymer and the surface of the multifilaments, and, where appropriate, comprises other additives which do not adversely affect the activity of the catalyst, and the second thermoplastic molding composition comprises additives.

  • Patent number: 6794032
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a long-fiber-reinforced polyolefin structure with a length of ≧3 mm, comprising from 0.1 to 90% by weight of at least one polyolefin, from 0.1 to 50% by weight of at least one polyamide, from 0.1 to 15% by weight of at least one modified polyolefin, from 5.0 to 75% by weight of at least one reinforcing fiber, from 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of at least one additive. The present invention further relates to a process for producing a long-fiber-reinforced polyolefin structure, where fiber bundles are passed through a flat-film die which has been charged with a melt made from polyolefin, polyamide, modified polyolefin, and dye and/or pigment, the immersed fiber bundles are passed through a shaping die, the fiber bundles are cooled, and the fiber bundles are chopped to the lengths of the structure transversely to the direction of running.

  • Patent number: 6482515
    Abstract: A colored long-fiber-reinforced polyolefin structure with a length ≧3 mm, which comprises from 0.1 to 90% by weight of at least one polyolefin, from 0.1 to 50% by weight of at least one polyamide, from 0.1 to 15% by weight of at least one modified polyolefin, from 5.0 to 75% by weight of at least one reinforcing fiber, and from 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of at least one dye and/or pigment. The present invention further relates to a process for producing a colored long-fiber-reinforced polyolefin structure, wherein fiber bundles are passed throught a flat die which has been charged with a melt made from polyolefin, polyamide, modified polyolefin and dye and/or pigment, the immersed fiber bundles are passed through a shaping die, the fiber bundles are cooled, and the fiber bundles are cut perpendicular to their running direction to give the length of the structure.
