Composite Profiles are manufactured by combining a resin matrix with a fibre reinforcement. Reinforcements are drawn through a formulated resin bath then to a heated die. In the die the reaction is controlled by heating and cooling zones and the types of the catalyst used in the resin. The result is a thermosetting profile with very good mechanical and physical properties because of its high percentage of reinforcement. Pultruded profiles offer a number of advantages over traditional materials. On a weight to weight basis they are stronger than steel, weighing %80 less than steel and %30 less than aluminum, by the help of resin choice they can be resistant to most chemicals and corrosion and their electrically nonconductive properties make them ideal for electrical applications.
