ABSTRACT:
Fiber reinforced plastic structural components having curved surface areas are produced in molds utilizing a bleeder cloth comprising a textile-like non-woven polyester fabric characterized by a fiber interlock value of at least 7 and a fiber entanglement completeness of at least 0.5. The utilization of this bleeder cloth allows quicker assembly of the mold components since cutting and forming are not necessary, proper pressure transmittal is ensured, and the air permeability, drape, stretchability, and resin holding capacity of the cloth are ideal. For producing the desired structural components with curved surface areas, at least one layer of resin pre-impregnated partially cured fabric is disposed in cooperation with a first mold section, a release liner is placed on the fabric, and a bleeder cloth according to the invention is placed on the release liner. A second mold section is placed on the bleeder cloth, and a pressure is applied to all the components of the mold while gases are evacuated through the release fabric and the bleeder cloth while all of the components of the mold are heated to completely cure the resin preimpregnated fabric.
