Manufacturing Processes
Pultrusion
Continuous fibres are pulled through resin and a heated die to produce a constant cross-section continuously.
In simple terms
Continuous fibres are pulled through resin and a heated die to produce a constant cross-section continuously.
Best for
Very high volumes of straight profiles with predominantly axial reinforcement.
Watch out for
Cross-section must remain constant and transverse properties need mats or stitched layers.
Typical applications
Beams, rods, ladder rails, rebars, cable trays and window profiles.
