Appl. No.:

7/517775

Inventors:

Louis R. Ross - Newark OH

Edward L. Wilson - Newark OH

Assignee:

Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation - Toledo OH

International Classification:

C08K 501

US Classification:

523511

Abstract:

A sheet molding composition is disclosed which includes a four component resinous system which comprises (a) an unsaturated polyester comprising a polycondensation product of one or more dihydric alcohols and one or more ethylenically unsaturated polycarboxylic acids; (b) one or more low-profile additives which are thermoplastic polymers which cause phase separation and porosity during the curing reaction; (c) one or more olefinically unsaturated monomers which copolymerize with the unsaturated polyester; and, (d) one or more compatible components comprising at least one compound containing one or more polyoxyethane substituents. The compatible component remains compatible when the polyester and monomer cure and imparts improved surface characteristics when added to low-profile resin systems.

Assignee:

International Classification:

B32B 3106

US Classification:

156 87

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for producing a sheet molding composite are provided. The sheet molding composite consists of two outer sheets of plastic material between which is sandwiched a moldable material or compound containing fiber-reinforced resin. The resin-containing material is maintained in a deformable, flexible state until it is placed in a mold and subjected to heat, at which time it is cured in the shape of the final molded product. The molding composite is made by depositing a layer of a pre-blended resin-containing material on the upper surface of one of the sheets of plastic material and by then depositing a layer of randomly disposed glass fibers onto this first layer. A second layer of preblended resin-containing material from the same source is also deposited on an upper surface of a second of the plastic sheets. The latter sheet is then turned over and moved into parallel relationship with respect to the first sheet and with the second layer of resin-containing material moved into contact with the reinforcing fibers on the first layer of resin-containing material. The composite is then kneaded to thoroughly mix the fibers and resin-containing material and at least one of the plastic sheets and material therebelow is punctured by needles to remove air through the resulting passages.

US Classification:

523507

Abstract:

A sheet molding composition is disclosed which includes a four component resinous system which comprises (a) an unsaturated polyester comprising a polycondensation product of one or more dihydric alcohols and one or more ethylenically unsaturated polycarboxylic acids; (b) one or more low-profile additives which are thermoplastic polymers which cause phase separation and porosity during the curing reaction; (c) one or more olefinically unsaturated monomers which copolymerize with the unsaturated polyester; and, (d) one or more compatible components comprising at least one compound containing one or more sulfate, sulfonate or sulfone substituents. The compatible components are compatible with the reacted unsaturated polyester and monomer during cure and impart improved surface characteristics when added to low-profile resin systems.

Terry R. Beaver - Nashport OH

Assignee:

Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation - Toledo OH

International Classification:

B29C 4500

US Classification:

156285

Abstract:

A process is provided for manufacturing ballistic resistant composites of an isophthalic thermoset polyester and woven roving made of magnesia aluminosilicate glass fibers. An impregnating solution is provided whereby prepregs can be conveniently formed and then vacuum bag molded. The ingredients i the impregnating solution are critically selected to provide prescribed viscosities after the elapse of certain periods of time and thereby allow the final articles to be formed in an economical and expedient manner.

Appl. No.:

8/673778

Inventors:

William G. Hager - Westerville OH
Edward L. Wilson - Newark OH
Paul R. Krumlauf - Thornville OH

Assignee:

Owens-Corning Fiberglas Technology, Inc. - Summit IL

International Classification:

C08F 2000

US Classification:

525445

Abstract:

A sheet molding composition is provided which exhibits controllable thickening. The composition includes a low molecular weight polyester in which some of the chain ends have been endcapped with functional groups which are unable to react with the thickeners employed in the sheet molding composition. The sheet molding composition has a low viscosity of from about 6 to about 20 million centipoise which allows molding at low pressures of from about 100 to about 300 psi.

International Classification:

B32B 700

US Classification:

428251

Abstract:

Panels are disclosed which are suitable for joiner, non-structural bulkheads. The panels are a laminate having a central portion of gypsum or a magnesium oxy-chloride cement which may or may not be glass fiber reinforced and externally exposed fire-resistant skins directly bonded to opposite sides of the central or core material. These skins are formed of a solid phenol-formaldehyde glass resin composite such as for example a prepreg formed from a woven glass roving of a high strength, high melting point glass and a cured phenol-aldehyde resin.
