8、ovings(strands), mats, and other forms of reinforcements such aswoven fiberglass through baths of thermosetting liquid resin,and then through a heated forming die (made of steel) to forma completed composite fiberglass structural shape.3.1.1 DiscussionThe heated die causes a chemical reac-tion to be
9、 initiated in the resin. The liquid resin molecules willcross-link and develop into a hardened plastic that is reinforcedwith the fiberglass.4.
