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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

The technique of producing continuous lengths of reinforced polymer structures by utilizing a pulling system is known as pultrusion. This method is extremely versatile, lending itself to the ...

While the players realign, technology advances in PUR processing continue apace, with renewed focus on spray skin and pultrusion. Krauss-Maffei has booked an order for a PUR foam system from ...
