Short notice given only substantially as follows: A laminate designed specifically for use in automobile construction has been invented in the USA. In European Patent EP 1036650, the company discloses an assembly comprising a number of multilayered wood/polypropylen composite sheets (TPC). Between adjacent sheets of the TPC, there are sheets based on a glass fibre composite. Sport utility vehicles have front and rear seats to increase their size, it is necessary for the seats to be able to fold down. There may be an open space between the floor board area and the rear seat back. Load bearing panels have been developed that pivot into position to cover this open area after the rear seat has been folded. G&L Industries proposes these panels are made using its multi-layered structure. The first, third and fifth inner layers are made from a TPC consisting of thermoplastic and wood fibre. The second and fourth inner layers are made of a thermoplastic, such as polypropylene, combined with glass fibres.The construction of the panel is such that the sheet containing the glass fibres is sandwiched between the TPC sheets. This assembly is then heated to about 180 deg C under pressure, producing a chemical bond that results in the creation of a monolithic composite board. Finally, the board is finished by covering the outer faces with the desired trim.
