Despite a high recycled content, energy consumption in ingot & secondary operations
results in giving Aluminum a disadvantage over Composites in total energy used.
Single-End rovings
Single-End rovings are generally used in all pultruded products,
usually as principal reinforcement.
n Provide axial strength and stiffness
n High reinforcement content (50-80%)
n Rovings available in a range of tex values (300 to 9600 tex)
n Specifically sized for different resin systems for optimum performance

UNICOMPLEX mat
This complex is obtained by sewing a central
PES Veil
layer of Unifilo mat with a polyester surface
Unifilo mat veil on one or both sides. Unicomplex C526
mat is used to improve the surface aspect
