According to one embodiment, a system for manufacturing a fully impregnated thermoplastic prepreg includes a mechanism for moving a fabric or mat and a drying mechanism that removes residual moisture from at least one surface of the fabric or mat. The system also includes a resin application mechanism that applies a reactive resin to the fabric or mat and a press mechanism that presses the coated fabric or mat to ensure that the resin fully saturates the fabric or mat. The system further includes a curing oven through which the coated fabric or mat is moved to polymerize the resin and thereby form a thermoplastic polymer so that upon exiting the oven, the fabric or mat is fully impregnated with the thermoplastic polymer. During at least a portion of the process, humidity in the vicinity of the coated fabric or mat is maintained at substantially zero.

The present invention provides a polyamide composite, including the following components: 20 to 80 parts of a polyamide resin; 1 to 30 parts of a red phosphorus flame retardant; 0.01 to 10 parts of trimethallyl isocyanurate; and the polyamide composite has a cross-linked structure between polyamide molecules. By adding trimethallyl isocyanurate (TMAIC) for irradiation cross-linking treatment, and by the red phosphorus flame retardant, not only the polyamide composite can meet the needs of flame retardant, but also glow-wire ignition temperature (GWIT) and comparative tracking index (CTI) have been improved.

The resin composition of the present disclosure contains a polyamide resin (A) and a modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol resin (B) grafted with an aliphatic polyester, wherein the content of the modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol resin is 1 part by weight or more and less than 50 parts by weight, when the total content of the polyamide resin (A) and the modified ethylene-vinyl alcohol resin (B) is taken as 100 parts by weight. This resin composition has excellent moldability and has excellent mechanical strength, in particular excellent tensile fracture strain properties, without impairing the transparency and solvent resistance of a molded object obtained from the resin composition.
