Abstract
A method of producing a laminate comprising the following steps: (a) Forming patches from a substantially unidirectional fabric, treated with a resin; (b) Substantially randomising the orientation of said patches; (c) Distributing a plurality of said patches in layers around a former; (d) Causing said layers of patches to amalgamate by means of activation of the resin treatment.

A method of producing a laminate comprising the following steps:
- Forming patches from a substantially unidirectional fabric, treated with a resin;
- the patches being formed to predetermined shape(s) and size(s) to suit the product in which the laminate is to be used;
- Forming substantially loose and randomly oriented patches;
- Distributing said substantially loose and randomly oriented patches in layers around a product mould;
- Causing said layers of patches once distributed around said product mould to amalgamate by means of activation of the resin treatment.
A laminate comprising randomly orientated patches each formed from a substantially unidirectional fabric treated with a resin and all amalgamated by means of activation of the resin treatment.
