Thermoset co-injection moulding is a novel technology that might be an alternative for thermoset recycling. This paper describes some experiments on the sandwich moulding of two polyesters, a powder coating and a BMC using a new special design thermoset co-injection machine and manifold system. The first thermoset sandwich moulding has been made and a number of initial moulding problems are presented and discussed.
