ABSTRACT:
A method of molding a high density composite article which, when completed, has opposed outer skins of fiber-reinforced plastics material and polymer mortar core between the skins. The method is performed by (a) providing an openable mold defining a mold cavity and an injection port through which polymer mortar may be introduced into the cavity; (b) opening the mold and placing within the cavity respective layers of fiber reinforcement to form the opposed outer skins; (c) closing the mold and injecting polymer mortar consisting of a resinous material loaded with high density particulate aggregate through the injection port into the cavity, between the layers of fiber reinforcement placed therein; and (d) applying sufficient pressure to the injected polymer mortar to ensure resin is separated from the polymer mortar and penetrates the said layers. The mesh size of the layers of fibrous reinforcing material is on average less than the average size of the high density particulate aggregate whereby the reinforcing material filters aggregate from the resin penetrating said layers, so that the aggregate stays within the polymer mortar core and high fiber/resin ratios are achieved in the skins.
