Pultrusion

Pultrusion is a continuous process for manufacture of composite materials with constant cross-section. Reinforced fibers are pulled through a resin, possibly followed by a separate performing system, and into a heated die, where the resin undergoes polymerization.

Application:-

  • In agriculture and chemical industry for manufacturing of chemically resistant to aggressive media slatted floors with enhanced strength characteristics used in the construction of livestock facilities, chemical plants, etc.;
  • In construction industry for the production of glass-fibre reinforcement, profiles, carcasses, stiffening bars for PVC-windows, etc.;
  • In aerospace industry for manufacturing of structure components of aircraft;
  • In sports and tourism industry for manufacturing of equipment having enhanced strength properties: skis, ski poles, tent and hovel constructions, etc.;
  • In electrical power engineering for manufacturing of dielectric structures, fibreglass rods used in composite insulators and as supporting structures for elements of signalling blocks, and fibreglass profiles used in manufacturing of transformers and electric motors;
  • In commercial production, using grains of long-fibre moulding material (LLM) as a raw material for subsequent manufacturing of structures and products with enhanced strength and chemical properties;
  • In many other industries and plants, using mechanisms, structures and materials, which meet high standards of chemical, dielectric and strength stability.

Two types of Pultrusions are:-

 
Glass Polyester Laminate Angles & Channels Glass Polyester Solid Rod & Bar Products
  • i) Glass Polyester Laminate Angles & Channels :-

    Grade GPO-3 Angles and Channels are moulded composite shapes that offer the designer choices of structural insulating members whose characteristics combine good electrical properties, high strength to weight ratio, and flame and track resistance
