Pultrusion pulls a variety of reinforced
fibers, wetted by thermosetting resins, through a heated die.
Pultrusion Process Diagram
Pultrusion is similar to extrusion in that it produces continuous cross-sectional profiles. While extrusion relies on press
to push unreinforced thermoplastic materials through a short die, pultrusion pulls a variety of reinforced fibers, wetted by thermosetting resins, through a heated
die. Polymerization of the resin occurs as the wetted fibers pass through the die, forming a continuous, rigid profile corresponding to the orifice shape.
TEEL Plastics, Inc. is both an extruder
and pultruder of custom plastic tubing. Our extrusion/finishing operations are favorably complemented by the pultrusion side of our business. By having both
extrusion and pultrusion capabilities, we are able to offer our customers the choice of plastic tubing that fits their customized needs.
