Abstract

A fiber reinforced plastic pipe comprising a cylindrical inner layer formed by winding a prepreg sheet containing a thermosetting resin as a matrix and an outer layer formed by winding a thermoplastic resin sheet or tape around the inner layer, said inner and outer layers being heat cured and thermocompression bonded in one united body; and a process for manufacturing the fiber reinforced plastic pipe. When the fiber reinforced plastic pipe is manufactured, the thermosetting resin is used for forming the inner layer and the thermoplastic resin is used for forming the outer layer. Moreover, a metal coat can be firmly bonded to the surface of the outer layer. Hence, a fiber reinforced plastic pipe prominently improved in impact resistance, abrasion resistance and lightweight properties can be provided.
