Abstract

Provided is a fiber reinforced plastic molding material which provides a cured product with excellent impact resistance, corrosion resistance and transparency. The fiber reinforced plastic molding material includes: a radical polymerizable resin composition containing: a vinyl ester resin (A) having a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 6,000; a urethane (meth)acrylate resin (B) obtained by reacting an isocyanate compound having two or more isocyanate groups in one molecule, a (meth)acrylic compound having one or more hydroxyl groups in one molecule and polyethylene glycol; an aliphatic amine (C) represented by the following general formula: where R1 represents a hydroxyalkyl group, R2 represents an alkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group, and R3 represents H or CH 3 ; a metal soap of cobalt (D); and an organic peroxide (E); and a glass fiber reinforcing material (F).

Claims (18)

1. A fiber reinforced plastic molding material, comprising:

a radical polymerizable resin composition containing:

a vinyl ester resin (A) having a weight average molecular weight of 500 to 6,000;

a urethane (meth)acrylic resin (B) obtained by reacting an isocyanate compound having two or more isocyanate groups in one molecule, a (meth)acrylic compound having one or more hydroxy groups in one molecule, and polyethylene glycol;

an aliphatic amine (C) represented by the following general formula:

 where R1 represents a hydroxyalkyl group, R2 represents an alkyl group or a hydroxyalkyl group, and R3 represents H or CH 3 ;

a metal soap of cobalt (D); and

an organic peroxide (E); and

a glass fiber reinforcing material (F),

wherein a weight average molecular weight of the urethane (meth)acrylic resin (B) is 2,000 to 7,000; and

wherein a weight ratio of the vinyl ester resin (A) to the urethane (meth)acrylic resin (B) is 20:80 to 80:20.

2. A fiber reinforced plastic molding material according to claim 1 , wherein the urethane (meth)acrylic resin (B) is obtained by reacting an isocyanate compound having two or more isocyanate groups in one molecule, a (meth)acrylic compound having one or more hydroxy groups, polyethylene glycol, and polyether polyol and/or adipate polyester polyol.

3. A fiber reinforced plastic molding material according to claim 1 , wherein the isocyanate compound having two or more isocyanate groups in one molecule is diphenylmethane diisocyanate.

4. A fiber reinforced plastic molding material according to claim 1 , wherein the (meth)acrylic compound having one or more hydroxy groups in one molecule is 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate, or a mixture thereof.

5. A fiber reinforced plastic molding material according to claim 1 , wherein the vinyl ester resin (A) is a bisphenol vinyl ester resin, a novolac vinyl ester resin, a brominated vinyl ester resin, or a mixture thereof

6. A fiber reinforced plastic molding material according to claim 1 , wherein the vinyl ester resin (A) and the urethane (meth)acrylic resin (B) contain 10 to 50% by weight of styrene.

7. A fiber reinforced plastic molding material according to claim 1 , wherein R2 of the component (C) represented by the general formula is a hydroxyalkyl group, and a content of the component (C) is 0.02 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of a total amount the component (A) and the component (B).

8. A fiber reinforced plastic molded article, which is formed by curing the fiber reinforced plastic molding material according to claim 1 .
