摘要:
A composite door structure especially suitable for use as a door facing is provided. The structure comprises about 40 weight percent to about 80 weight percent thermoplastic polymer; up to about 30 weight percent glass fibers; and a filler selected from (a) about 5 weight percent to about 40 weight percent mineral filler and (b) about 10 weight percent to about 50 weight percent organic fibrous additive. A composite door comprising the door facing, and methods of making the same are also provided.
摘要:
A method of forming a composite door is disclosed. The method comprises: mixing together a thermoplastic polymer with an organic fibrous material in a ratio such that the organic fibrous material constitutes 40 to 60 percent by weight of the mixture; extruding the mixture under heat and pressure to create a thin sheet form; cutting the sheet to a predetermined size; removing material from at least one surface of the sheet to create a homogeneous appearance devoid of obvious fibrous particles; thermoforming the sheet to impart to the at least one surface an exterior three dimensional door surface to create a thin door facing; and assembling two of the thermoformed thin door facings, a peripheral frame and a core material into a door.
