Claims14
A method for preparing a pultruded polyurethane composite comprising:
- placing at least a peel ply and at least a fibrous reinforcing material in an infiltration box of an equipment comprising an injection device, wherein the injection device comprises at least two injection ports located on two opposite sides of the infiltration box, and at least one injection channel which communicates with and is fed through the at least two injection ports, wherein the infiltration box comprises an inlet and an outlet, wherein the fibrous reinforcing material is partially covered by the peel ply, wherein the peel ply and the fibrous reinforcing material are drawn through the infiltration box at a certain speed by a continuous pultrusion process;
- infiltrating the fibrous reinforcing material with a polyurethane composition via the part of the fibrous reinforcing material not covered by the peel ply;
- drawing the infiltrated fibrous reinforcing material and the peel ply through a mold;
- and
- curing to obtain the pultruded polyurethane composite.
