The present invention relates to a consolidated form of the commingled
continuous filaments of glass fibers and polymeric fibers as
reinforcement. The consolidation of the commingled fibers into composite
reinforcement can be used in a continuous form or bulk molding compound
pellets. The consolidation of the commingled fibers into composite
reinforcement can be made in-situ during in-line extrusion of the final
end product extrudate, or prepared as a tape or rod and incorporated into
an off-line extrusion of final product. The bulk molding pellets are used
solely or diluted with an addition of polymeric material for mono or
co-extrusion or compression molding.
