Glass Fiber Composite Pultruded Profile
I have a constant cross-section profile. Who pultrudes it, and what is the die cost?
What it is
Constant cross-section composite profile produced by pulling reinforcement through a resin bath and heated die. The composite analogue of extrusion, and similarly tooling-dependent.
- Typical dimensions
- Limited by die and puller capacity; continuous lengths.
- Also known as
- pultruded profile, pultrusion, composite profile, rod and tube
