Method of producing a thermoplastics material

摘要

A method is described of producing a laminated structural material which includes the steps of stacking alternately layers of thermoplastics sheet material and one or more layers of material to be laminated, the material having been impregnated with a second thermoplastics material prior to stacking, placing the stack in a pre-heated mould or press and subjecting the stack to heat and pressure for a time sufficient to cause the thermoplastics material to flow and bond together the layers of structural material to be laminated and allowing the mould or press to cool sufficiently to avoid distortion of the moulded part before removal from the mould or press.
