Abstract

The process for producing a shaped article comprising a polythene terephthalate (PETP) core containing from 0 to 50% of mineral fillers and a covering layer of a second thermoplastics material having a softening point below that of the PETP. The second material and the PETP are injected one after the other into a mould which is maintained at a temperature below the crystallization point of the PETP having regard to its fillers. The second material injected in the first phase acts as a thermal buffer slowing down temperature equalization between the PETP injected in the second injection phase and the mould, thus ensuring the required properties in the PETP core.
