ABSTRACT:
Reinforced polymer composites having a thermoplastic matrix material, reinforcing glass fibers, and a heat-expandable material selected from a group consisting of unexpanded vermiculite and unexpanded perlite are provided exhibiting improved fire resistant properties. The composites are prepared by performing a dilute aqueous slurry of a solid heat-fusible organic polymer, glass reinforcing fibers, and a heat-expandable material selected from the group consisting of vermiculite and perlite, agitating the slurry and then dewatering the slurry to provide a mat of thermoplastic polymer particles, reinforcing glass fiber, and a heat-expandable material. The mat is dried and then stamped under pressure and heat to consolidate the thermoplastic material to form a sheet-like composite structure. The composites exhibit reduced levels of early smoke generation and/or early heat generation.
