Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 87 words
The method of making a moldable and foamable reinforced plastic laminate by compressing glass fibers wetted with a composition of urethane foam precursors containing a solid catalyst between two layers of barrier sheets, said method comprising the steps of: (1) wetting a multiplicity of glass fibers with a composition of urethane foam precursors containing a solid catalyst, (2) positioning said wetted glass fibers between two layers of barrier sheet, (3) compressing under suitable pressure said wetted glass fibers between said layers of barrier sheet into a laminate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 87 words
The method of making a moldable and foamable reinforced plastic laminate by compressing glass fibers wetted with a composition of urethane foam precursors containing a solid catalyst between two layers of barrier sheets, said method comprising the steps of: (1) wetting a multiplicity of glass fibers with a composition of urethane foam precursors containing a solid catalyst, (2) positioning said wetted glass fibers between two layers of barrier sheet, (3) compressing under suitable pressure said wetted glass fibers between said layers of barrier sheet into a laminate.
