Pultrusion Process
Pultrusion is a continuous process of raw materials, typically resin and reinforcing materials,
forming profiles of constant cross section in continuous length.
Pultrusion gets its name from the method by which the profiles are made. Raw materials
are literally pulled by what we call "the puller." "The puller" is the machine made up of pulling
pads, which grip the product, and a drive system which keeps the product moving. "The puller"
is located just before the final cut-off saw.
The process starts with the reinforcements. Typically, unidirectional glass roving is the
fiber that runs along the length of the profile. Second, the fiberglass mat is added in, which is
multidirectional reinforcement. Third is the resin, typically polyester or vinylester. The glass is
"wet-out" with the liquid resin and pulled into a heated die. Just before all the material enters the
die, surface veil may be added which enhances the final product's surface.
Now that all the reinforcements have been "wet-out" and pulled into a heated die, the curing
takes place. All the resins used in the pultrusion process have a catalyst or hardener added
when the resin is mixed. This catalyst activated at about 200F. Consequently, as the "wet-out"
reinforcement pass through the heated die, the product changes from liquid to a solid profile
with all the reinforcement laminated within.
The product exiting the die is pulled by "the puller", which upon exiting can be cut to the
desired length.
Standard Resin Systems for Structural Shapes

STANDARD POLYESTER (ISO or PN) RESIN SYSTEM
The STANDARD POLYESTER RESIN SYSTEM refers to a NON FLAME RETARDANT
isophthalic polyester resin system. This resin system is manufactured in olive green and
incorporates ultraviolet inhibitors. Polyester resins exhibit good corrosion resistance, good
electrical properties, low thermal conductivity and excellent mechanical properties.
FLAME RETARDANT POLYESTER (ISOFR or PF) RESIN SYSTEM
This resin system exhibits the same characteristics as the Standard Polyester resin system PLUS
a flame spread rating of 25 or less when tested in accordance with ASTM E-84. The FLAME
RETARDANT resin system is manufactured in gray and yellow.
FLAME RETARDANT VINYL ESTER (VEFR or VF) RESIN SYSTEM
This resin system is manufactured from vinyl ester resin which exhibits higher strength,
improved strength and stiffness retention at elevated temperatures, and improved corrosion
resistance. This system also meets a maximum flame spread rating of 25 and is produced in
beige and yellow.

Chemical Resistance Guide - Structural Shapes

The data in this chemical resistance guide is based on field service performance, laboratory testing and extrapolated values
from our resin manufacturers' recommendation. Data shown is intended as a guide only. It is recommended that for a specific
application, testing be done in the actual chemical environment.
The following conditions will effect the suitability of a specific resin laminate:

Periodic changes in temperature
Exposure to frequent splashes and spills

Temperature spikes
Exposure to intermittent splashes and spills

Changes in chemical concentrations
Frequency of maintenance wash down

Combinations of chemicals
Load bearing or non-load bearing requirements

Exposure to vapors only

Beams - Allowable Uniform Load Tables

TABLE NOTATION
he allowable uniform load tables were generated using the results from tests and the following
T
formulas, properties and assumptions. The deflection formula reflects that the deflection is the
result of both flexural and shear stresses.

Columns - Allowable Axial Load Tables
8 long - 6 x 6 x 1/2 Angle

Full section column testing was conducted on equal leg angles, I and Wide Flange Shapes and Square
Tubes. Ultimate values were generated through testing of elements with square cut ends placed between
the table and the upper, moving platen of a universal testing machine. This test procedure closely
simulates how FRP columns will generally be used in practice.
Comparison of test data versus theoretical Euler buckling capacity suggests that the "K" value as tested
is approximately 0.70, representing a fixed-pinned condition. The values in the tables represent an
FS = 3.0 for the tested condition. Should you feel, however, that your column end conditions closely
approximate a pinned-pinned condition ("rounded" column ends are somewhat difficult to achieve in
practice) we recommend you multiply the allowable values shown in the tables by the following values:
SHAPE
I, W or Angle
Square Tube
To Obtain FS = 2.0
multiply by:
0.75
0.50
58
To Obtain FS = 3.0
