摘要 |
This invention relates to a method of forming in a mould an article consisting of a thermoplastic sandwich material, which material comprises a core of a thermoplastic foam and one or two, optionally fibre-reinforced, covering layers of a thermoplastic resin, comprising providing in the mould a foamable thermoplastic synthetic material and said one or two fibre-reinforced covering layers, supplying a liquid to the mould at an elevated pressure and temperature, whereby the temperature of the thermoplastic synthetic material is raised to a temperature above the temperature at which the material foams, followed by lowering the pressure of the liquid and removing the liquid from the mould with foaming of the thermoplastic synthetic material.
