BENEFITS |
APPLICATIONS |
Strong |
Unit strength in tension & compression in approx 20x that of steel when these propoerties are combined on the basis of unit density |
Optional strength as desired. Exceptionally high impact strength reduces damage potential |
Structural Process equipment support. Tank Supports, Cooling tower ancillaries. Flooring supports. Trusses & Joints |
Light weight |
Density of pultruded components is about 20% of steel and 60% of aluminium. |
Higher performance at less weight. Lower shipping handling & installation costs. Less operational energy demand |
Automative lead springs & bumpers. Prefabricated walkways & Platforms. Bus components |
Corrosion Resistance |
Unaffected by exposure of a great variety of corrosive enviornment & chemicals |
Minimum maintenance costs. Long tern safety. Longer Life |
Chemical plant hand railings gratings, walkways & bridges cable trays, pipe supports |
Electrical Insulation |
Provides strength and rigidity with dielectric propoerties |
Lesser no. of components. Non-magnetic & safe. Predictable insulation values for wide range of frequencies. |
Ladders, cable trays. Switch gear components. Mounting braces and backboards. |
Termal Insulation |
Pultruded Components have a low thermal conductivity, 1/250 of aluminium & 1/60 of steel. |
Reduces installation thickness Elimates condensation problems. Reduces energy operation requirements. |
Bulk head frames. Walk in refrigerator door jams. Window frames. Insulated roll up panel doors |
Consolidation |
Many individual components can be combined into a larger structure |
Reduced assembly cost, reduced inventory. Fewer parts improve reliability. |
Window latch supports. Roll up door |
Dimensional Stability |
Pultruded components are highly resistant to warping stretch/swelling over a wide range of temperature & stresses |
No permanent deformation under high stress. Close tolerances. |
Spring bumpers. Crossing gate arms, scrubber components |
Safety |
The pultruded components are very strong & safe to work with. They are microbes and insect proof. |
Many gratings suffer from the problem of microbes etc. due to wet or unhygienic working conditions. |
