These reinforcing fibers may use only 1 type and may use multiple types. Moreover, you may contain the organic fiber excellent in heat resistance, such as a PBO (polyparaphenylene benzoxazole) fiber.

For example, when inorganic fiber such as carbon fiber or glass fiber is used as the reinforcing fiber, the fiber reinforced plastic layer is formed by heating and pressing at the melting temperature of the thermoplastic resin fiber contained in the fiber reinforced plastic molded sheet. It becomes possible to form.
In addition, when high heat-resistant and high-strength organic fibers such as aramid fibers are used as reinforcing fibers, a fiber-reinforced plastic molded sheet suitable for precision polishing equipment that requires high smoothness is obtained. be able to.

By making the content rate of a binder component in the said range, the intensity | strength in a manufacturing process can be raised and handling property can be improved. Note that as the amount of the binder component increases, both the surface strength and the interlayer strength increase, but conversely, the problem of odor during heat forming tends to occur. However, within the above range, there is hardly any problem of odor, and a fiber reinforced plastic molded sheet that does not cause delamination even after repeated cutting steps can be obtained.
