Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a reinforcement rod ( 2 ) from a fibrous composite material consisting of continuous mineral fibers ( 5, 23, 35 ) and at least one resin ( 7, 25 ), at least one portion of the mineral fibers ( 5, 23 ) being mixed with a resin-curing agent mixture, the mineral fibers ( 5, 23 ) that have been mixed with the resin-curing agent mixture and, optionally, resin-free mineral fibers ( 35 ) subsequently being brought together to form a rod, and the resin ( 7, 25 ) being cured. A mixture of at least one resin ( 7, 25 ) and at least two different curing agents is used as said resin-curing agent mixture, the two curing agents forming reactive species under different conditions for curing the resin ( 7, 25 ) such that the reactive species are available for the curing process at different times.

Claims (17)

1. A method for producing a reinforcement rod from a fibrous composite material comprising continuous mineral fibers and at least one resin, at least one portion of the mineral fibers being mixed with a first mixture, the mineral fibers that have been mixed with the first mixture and, optionally, resin-free mineral fibers being brought together to form a core rod, and the resin being cured, wherein a number of mineral fibers are disposed in the reinforcement rod, whereas the core rod is produced in the order of

(a) supplying the continuous mineral fibers by a first device,

(b) mixing the mineral fibers with the resin in a second device and conveying the mineral fibers through the second device, and

(c) curing the resin in a third device, and

wherein the first mixture comprises the at least one resin and at least two different curing agents, and the two curing agents form reactive species under different conditions for curing the resin such that the reactive species are available at different times for the curing process,

wherein a peripheral laminate comprising mineral fibers oriented in a longitudinal direction of the reinforcement rod and another resin is applied to the core rod,

wherein a second mixture is used to produce the peripheral laminate, the second mixture comprising the other resin and a plurality of curing agents, and

wherein the at least two different curing agents of the first mixture are different from the plurality of curing agents of the second mixture, in particular the at least two different curing agents of the first mixture are one fewer than the plurality of curing agents of the second mixture.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a curing agent of the at least two different curing agents is selected from a group comprising or consisting of diisocyanates and radical formers, in particular peroxides, azo compounds, photoinitiators, and mixtures thereof.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein three different peroxides are used as curing agents.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a curing agent which forms the reactive species first of all is used in a quantity which is the lowest relative to the respective quantities of the other curing agents of the first mixture.

5. A reinforcement rod comprising a core rod and a peripheral laminate applied to the core rod, wherein the core rod, the peripheral laminate, and the reinforcement rod are produced by the method according to claim 1 .

6. The reinforcement rod according to claim 5 , wherein the curing agents are selected from a group comprising or consisting of diisocyanates and radical formers, in particular peroxides, azo compounds, photoinitiators, and mixtures thereof.

7. The reinforcement rod according to claim 5 , wherein three different peroxides are used as the curing agents.

8. The reinforcement rod according to claim 5 , wherein in terms of quantity, the quantity of the curing agent forming the reactive species first of all is the lowest relative to the respective quantities of the other curing agents in the first mixture.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first mixture is applied as one so that the at least two different curing agents are applied simultaneously with the mixture.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first mixture is present in the second device.
