Pultrusion is a continuous, automated process that is cost effective for high volume production of composite parts with uniform cross-section. Due to uniformity in cross-section, resin dispersion, fibers distribution & alignment, excellent composite structural materials can be fabricated by pultrusion. The process involves pulling of fibers through a bath of resin, blended with a catalyst and then into a performing fixture, where the section is partially pre-shaped & excess resin is removed. It is then passed through a heated die, which determines the sectional geometry and finish of the final product. Composite sections with highest fibre content can be achieved by pultrusion. The common pultruded parts are solid rods, hollow tubes, flat sheets and various types of beams including angles, channels, hat-sectioned and wide-flanged beams. The profiles produced by this process can compete with traditional metallic profiles made of steel & aluminium for strength & weight. Pultruded sections find excellent applications for fabricating industrial gratings, walk-ways, cable-trays, hand-rails, ladders and also for structures in corrosion prone areas, chemical plants, off-shore and on-shore operations etc.
