Pultrusion
Pultrusion is a fabrication technique for making continuous
profiles of composite materials. As with all composites the
material is made in the same time as the final product. Pultrusion
is based on fibers that are impregnated with a thermosetting resin
and pulled through a heated die where curing takes place. Different
laminate lay-ups are possible with reinforcements of mats, fabrics
and multiaxials. The finished profiles are cut to length by a saw
at the end of the line.
