Pultrusion advantages
Introduction
The technological development of resin and fiber industry has promoted a determinant advance of the pultrusion process. The advantages of the pultruded profiles are increasingly notables.
Main advantages
Sustainable production process
Pultrusion process consumes ½ of the energy used to produce PVC, ¼ of the energy produce steel and 1/6 of the energy used to produce aluminum.
Maintenance free
The pultruded materials and equipment do not require maintenance.
Lightweight material
Material that is easy-to-use, which simplifies the equipment assembly.
high chemical and weathering resistance
Fiberglass and standardized resins allow the material to have a high resistance to aggression from most existing chemical and atmospheric environments. For extreme situations specials resins could be formulated to hold out certain components.
Easy manufacturing
The manufacture requires, in most cases, only carpentry tools.
Easy to install
These equipments are easy to install due to the low weight and to the systems modularity.
Strong material
Strain/weight ratio higher than many metals, wood an concrete.
Versatile
The pultruded profiles could be produced with different types of resin, additives and fibers, which allow obtaining easily different products for special applications.
