Fiberglass Pultruded Structural
The raw materials for pultrusion include a liquid resin
mixture (containing resin, fillers and specialized additives)
and reinforcing fibers. To achieve the rein-forcement
purpose, materials in continuous forms such as rolls of
fiberglass mat and doffs of fiberglass roving are used.
During the pultrusion process, the raw materials are
pulled through a heated steel forming die. When the
reinforcements are saturated with the resin mixture (“wetout”)
in the resin bath and pulled through the die, the resin
comes hardened due to the heat from the die and the
cured profiles are thus formed in the same shape as the
die.
