ADVANTAGES
Benefits of Pultruded Fiberglass
vs Traditional Materials
Corrosion Resistance
Resistant to a broad range of chemicals including fresh water and salt water. Will not rust like metal or rot like wood.
Easy Installation
Can be field fabricated using simple carpenter's tools and easily installed with less equipment than most traditional installations.
EMI & RFI Transparency
Transparent to electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Certified by Los Angeles Research Report, L.A.R.R., for use in RF transparent screening and enclosure systems.
High Strength
Very high strength-to-weight ratio compared to metals, wood, and concrete.
Lightweight
Pultruded fiberglass shapes generally weigh 75-80% less than similar steel shapes and 30% less than similar aluminum shapes.
Low Conductivity
Low electrical and thermal conductivity properties and high dielectric capability.
Maintenance Free
Tough, durable and impact resistant. Will not dent and deform like metal. Resists rot and corrosion eliminating the need for constant maintenance. Provides long term, cost effective solutions in many applications.
Versatility
Pultrusions can be manufactured in a wide variety of shapes. Multiple types of resin and forms of reinforcements are available. Parts can be produced in custom colors.
