With a new approach, KraussMaffei Reaction Process Machinery wants to bring the pultrusion process for the uninterrupted production of highly filled, fiber-reinforced plastic components to a new ...

A research team from the Skoltech Center for Design, Manufacturing and Materials (CDMM) studied the effects of processing additives - aluminum hydroxide and zinc stearate - on the polymerization ...

In the early days of composites manufacturing, the materials for building fiber-reinforced plastic/composite parts were laid into molds by hand. Hand layup is still common in the industry, but ...

Extrusion die manufacturer Guill Tool & Engineering now offers custom-engineered pultrusion dies for the automotive, aerospace, construction, energy, marine, sporting goods, and telecommunications ...

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.

The first rebars appeared at the end of the 19th century and were designed to reinforce public works structures in the face of various climatic hazards, such as the earthquakes that struck the ...

Sometimes we see new things when looking back. 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 ...

Series production of fiber-reinforced plastic parts with complex geometries is not only very costly but also requires long cycle times. Evonik, in collaboration with Secar Technologie GmbH (Austria), ...
