A process for the manufacture of a fibre web containing a thermosetting resin, comprising forming a fibre web (100, 200, 300) of at least reinforcing fibres (101, 201, 301), bringing at least a thermosetting resin (102, 202, 202′, 302) together with the reinforcing fibres, and joining the fibre web (100′, 200′, 300′) at least partly by means of said thermosetting resin after the confluence,
- characterized in that the process comprises having the thermosetting resin in the form of substantially dry grains (103, 203, 303), bringing said grains of thermosetting resin together with the reinforcing fibres (101, 201, 301) at a confluence temperature (T1) at about room temperature, and then joining the fibre web by prior to and/or under a pressure (p) at least partly heating the grains of thermosetting resin present in the fibre web (100′, 200′, 300′) to a joining temperature (T2) being higher than the temperature (T1) at the confluence, and then cooling the fibre web (100′, 200′ 300′) to room temperature.
