Hand layup is still common in the industry, but automated processes — notably pultrusion, filament winding, automated tape layup (ATL) and others — have been developed along the way to replace or ...

In 1881, a patent was issued for a process that used natural sunlight for UV cure to make artificial leather. This seems quite similar to pultrusion without a curing die, much like the oven-cured and ...

Pultrusion process optimization involves careful consideration of the many parameters influencing the quality of the final product. One of the parameters to be considered is the pulling speed.

With all the benefits of a composite rebar, it also has the added advantage of being bendable on site. As rebar is a constant-section component, the pultrusion process was the ideal solution for ...

Pultrusion is one of the technologies used to produce fibre-reinforced plastic composites. This continuous manufacturing method produces fixed cross-sections for both solid and hollow components.

Thermoplastic pultrusion involves pulling tapes of glass fibers impregnated with plastic through a machine where the plastic melts and the material assumes the desired shape. Instead of the ...

Grant Ray of Group14 Technologies discusses how silicon battery tech is advancing energy storage for EVs, AI, and consumer electronics. Santec’s all new TSL-570 is a high performance tunable laser ...

Berlin-based extrusion blow molding machine builder Bekum Maschinenfabriken GmbH has acquired the pultrusion business unit of the financially struggling systems provider ProtTec Polymer Processing ...
