Advantages of Composites
Pultrusion is the most cost-effective method to overcome problems which conventional materials often cannot fulfill and offering the architect, fabricator, athlete, and maintenance person a structural material for solving many design and engineering problems
The properties of composite materials are
High strength, Low density, High stiffness, Corrosion resistance, Wear resistance, Low heat transmission, Low sound transmission, Good electromagnetic transmission
Advantages of Pultrusions
Pultruded composite profiles are composed of high performance fibers (glass, carbon, or aramid) individually or in combination, embedded in a polymer matrix (polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy or phenolic). Pultruded fiber reinforced composites are considered to be one of the highest performing composite materials. These materials have been recognised as the materials for the future and their use is expected to grow throughout industry.
