Abstract

A fiber reinforced plastic including: a first fiber reinforced plastic layer including a first fiber fabric and a resin impregnated into the first fiber fabric; a resin flow layer including an inner medium and a resin, the resin flow layer being laminated on the first fiber reinforced plastic layer; a second fiber reinforced plastic layer including a second fiber fabric and a resin impregnated into the second fiber fabric, the second fiber reinforced plastic layer being laminated on the resin flow layer so that the resin flow layer is arranged between the first fiber reinforced plastic layer and the second fiber reinforced plastic layer; and an inorganic filler layer including an inorganic filler having a particle diameter of 20 μm or more and 50 μm or less and a resin, the inorganic filler layer being laminated on the second fiber reinforced plastic layer.

First claim

1 . A fiber reinforced plastic comprising a plurality of layers formed to be integrated with each other using a same resin,
the fiber reinforced plastic comprising: a first fiber reinforced plastic layer including a first fiber fabric and a resin for a first fiber fabric impregnated into the first fiber fabric; a resin flow layer including a resin diffusion medium and the resin impregnated into the resin diffusion medium, the resin flow layer being laminated on the first fiber reinforced plastic layer; a second fiber reinforced plastic layer including a second fiber fabric and a resin for a second fiber fabric impregnated into the second fiber fabric, the second fiber reinforced plastic layer being laminated on the resin flow layer so that the resin flow layer is arranged between the first fiber reinforced plastic layer and the second fiber reinforced plastic layer; and an inorganic filler layer including an inorganic filler having a particle diameter of 20 μM or more and 50 μm or less and the resin, the inorganic filler layer being laminated on the second fiber reinforced plastic layer so that the second fiber reinforced plastic layer is arranged between the resin flow layer and the inorganic filler layer.

2 . A fiber reinforced plastic according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic filler comprises aluminum hydroxide, antimony trioxide, or a mixture thereof.

3 . An air-regulating cover for an elevator, comprising the fiber reinforced plastic of claim 1 .

4 . A method of producing a fiber reinforced plastic, comprising:
a forming step including laminating a first fiber fabric on a mold, laminating a resin diffusion medium on the first fiber fabric, and laminating a second fiber fabric on the resin diffusion medium; an adhesion step of causing an inorganic filler to adhere to a silicone bag; a bagging step of covering the first fiber fabric, the resin diffusion medium, and the second fiber fabric with the silicone bag and the mold so that the inorganic filler faces the second fiber fabric; an impregnation step of impregnating the first fiber fabric and the second fiber fabric with a liquid resin through use of the resin diffusion medium as a resin flow passage; a curing step of curing the resin after the impregnation step; a demolding step of taking out, after the curing step, a fiber reinforced plastic body formed integrally with the resin from the mold and the silicone bag; and a removal step of removing by polishing, after the demolding step, a portion, in which the inorganic filler projects, of a bag surface of the fiber reinforced plastic body facing the silicone bag.

5 . An air-regulating cover for an elevator, comprising the fiber reinforced plastic of claim 2 .
