Abstract
This invention relates to the use of composite reinforcements advantageously comprising a thermosetting matrix and a filler in particular in the reinforcing of thermoplastic material or of thermosetting resin, in order to obtain a reinforced structure such as a bathtub, a washbasin, a wall panel or a shower tray. This invention relates more particularly to a method for preparing a reinforced structure using composite reinforcements, as well as the structure able to be obtained by such a method.
Claims15
Method for preparing a reinforced structure comprising the following steps:
- a) forming the structure to be reinforced in the form of a receptacle,
- b) preparing a liquid thermosetting formulation at ambient temperature using a mixture of thermosetting polymer precursors, said liquid thermosetting formulation having a viscosity between 50 and 2000 mPa·s, preferably between 50 and 600 mPa·s,
- c) pouring said liquid thermosetting formulation into said receptacle,
- d) adding a filler into said thermosetting formulation poured during the step c), said filler having a granulometry between 0.05 and 10 mm, preferably between 0.1 and 3 mm, a moisture content less than 0.1%, and advantageously having a density greater than the density of said thermosetting formulation,
- e) polymerising said thermosetting formulation with said filler, forming as such a reinforced structure, and
- f) possibly, pouring a finishing layer constituted of said liquid thermosetting formulation prepared during the step b).
