The UV light source may include a light train having a plurality of UV light sources, such as UV light emitting diodes, carried by a motorized trolley. The coating system includes an inlet adapter that facilitates inversion and pressurization of the UV foil, as well as introduction of the UV light source into the interior of the pressurized UV foil.

SYSTEM FOR PRODUCING A FULLY IMPREGNATED THERMOPLASTIC PREPREG

According to one embodiment, a system for manufacturing a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) prepreg includes a mechanism for continuously moving a fabric or mat and a resin application component that applies a methyl methacrylate (MMA) resin to the fabric or mat. The system also includes a press mechanism that presses the fabric or mat during the continuous movement subsequent to the application of the MMA resin to ensure that the MMA resin fully saturates the fabric or mat. The system further includes a curing oven through which the fabric or mat is continuously moved. The curing oven is maintained at a temperature of between 40° C. and 100° C. to polymerize the MMA resin and thereby form PMMA so that upon exiting the curing oven, the fabric or mat is fully impregnated with PMMA. 1.
