Pultrusion - Composites Manufacturing Process

Pultrusion

Pultrusion is a cost-effective, continuous process used to form composites into long, consistent shapes like rods or bars. Strands of reinforcing fibers are pulled through a resin bath to saturate them, then pulled through heated steel molds that sculpt the composites into continuous lengths. Pultrusion produces profiles with extremely high fiber loading, and is used to make products such as beams, channels, pipes, tubing, fishing rods and golf club shafts.
