What does Pultron Composites do?

0

How was the product developed? Pultron Composites is a pultrusion company. We developed an automated process for the production of fibreglass reinforcement. Fibreglass is pulled through a resin bath and then a dye. We’ve done a lot of research and development on developing new resins, high performance resins, and high durability resins. We’ve worked with other companies and universities to develop the product’s tensile strength, modulus (a measure of elasticity) and durability. The focus is really on the tensile strength, which is higher than 1000 mega pascals, and the modulus. These are the two critical measures. What is it used for? It is only used in special applications, such as marine structures, where you have issues of corrosion. The product has been used in things such as bridges, highway barriers, tunnels and aluminium smelters. How strong is Mateen-Bar compared to steel rebar? The strength of the rebar is about twice that of steel (1000 mega pascals, based on a 20mm diameter)
