Abstract
A structure comprising a composite laminate resin and fiberglass panel and method of manufacture thereof is provided.
Claims20
A composite laminate structure comprising:
- a core of non-woven thermoplastic/fiberglass mix matte having a homogenous appearance, with virtually no strands observable to the eye;
- a top layer located on one side of said core, said top layer including uni-directional structural tape of woven glass/thermoplastic composites wherein a majority of fibers of said uni-directional structural tape on said top layer run in a first direction;
- and
- a bottom layer, on a side of said core opposite said top layer, said bottom layer including uni-directional structural tape of woven glass/thermoplastic composites wherein a majority of fibers of said uni-directional structural tape on said bottom layer run in a second direction, said second direction being at an angle greater than 45 degrees to said first direction, said top and bottom layers are sealed to said core in a laminating process to form a laminate.

A method of manufacturing a composite laminate structure including the steps of:
- providing a core of non-woven thermoplastic/fiberglass mix matte having a homogenous appearance, with virtually no strands observable to the eye;
- providing a top layer said top layer including a uni-directional fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic wherein a majority of fibers of said uni-directional structural tape on said top layer run in a first direction;
- locating said top layer on one side of said core;
- providing a bottom layer, said bottom layer including a uni-directional fiberglass reinforced thermoplastic wherein a majority of fibers of said uni-directional structural tape on said bottom layer run in a second direction, the second direction running 45°-90° to the first direction;
- locating said bottom layer on a side of said core opposite said top layer;
- sealing said top and bottom layers to said core using a heat fusing process to create an “I” Beam type composite structure, and thereby laminating said top layer, to said core and said core to said bottom layer to form a laminate.
