Fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) has been a material of choice for architects and engineers for over 40 years. Today however, it is catching the eye of a new generation who are focussed on eco-friendly building solutions without compromise of aesthetic appeal – and the applications for its use are growing. Composites in Building Design Mondial […]
In issue 682 of Industrial Process News, Pultrex has highlighted the reasons why recyclable, thermally efficient and lightweight composites are set to revolutionise window design. Read on to discover more! New thermal break regulations and triple glazing requirements are prompting architects, designers, and civil engineers to choose composite pultruded profiles over traditional aluminium and steel […]
Pultruded profiles made from thermoplastics have a big eco-advantage over their thermoset counterparts. They are made from a polymer that can be broken down and reformed multiple times without losing its structural integrity. Thermoplastic Pultrusion – the eco option for manufacture Fibre reinforced plastics are becoming the material of choice in a variety of industries […]
There is a new trend in the construction industry, and it has pultruded profiles at its heart. We take a look at the ways (and whys) architects and construction companies are turning to a material that has superpowers compared to its traditional counterparts. According to the European Pultrusion Technology Association (EPTA), there is an increase […]
Climate change and plastic pollution are hot topics right now, and the world is waking up to the need for change. Here are 10 reasons why pultrusion is an eco-option for manufacturers, and how advances in composite manufacture may enable a move towards greener energy systems overall. The pultrusion process requires far less heat input […]
Composites have amazing qualities, and many advantages over their traditional counterparts. While these advantages are often hailed in the aerospace industry, it is within civil engineering that we can really see the benefits of using composite pultruded profiles on a wide scale. What makes composites a good choice for hot climates, places that experience heatwaves, […]
Expanding manufacturing capabilities and traceability protocols when budget constraints are in place can slow the pace of innovation, and potential profits, but what if you could add to your existing product line and systems rather than replace the whole lot? Aerospace and defence are ideal examples of industries where the expanding technology means new lines […]
Turn to page 34 in The April/May 2018 edition of Composites in Manufacturing and you’ll find a three-page article about the latest trends, demands, and challenges in the global pultrusion, pull winding, and filament winding industry – according to Pultrex. Here are some highlights from the article! Industry 4.0 (i4.0) Pultrex has been providing data from […]
With a new Pultrusion Machine heading out to Japan for the first time in 10 years, we thought this would be the perfect time to recap why customers around the world choose Pultrex to manufacture their Pultrusion Machines. What Makes Pultrex Pultrusion Machines Different? Profile Clamping – Modular clamping system for maximum production flexibility. The […]
As the cold weather hits the UK, we have been contemplating the fact that life below zero is a reality for many folks in the most northerly parts of the UK, and indeed for people the world over. To live comfortably in a colder climate high performance clothing and shelter with excellent thermal properties are […]
To keep ahead of the competition, manufacturers of automotive components are looking to move from traditional materials such as steel and aluminium to lightweight composite alternatives. Less weight on body and transmission components means that more technology can be added without increasing overall weight – ergo exhaust emissions – helping the manufacturers comply with increasingly […]
SheltAir is a pioneering pavilion that uses air filled cushions to rapidly erect elastic gridshells. The innovative design, developed by Gregory Quinn, has the potential to speed up the construction of large-span shells – promising groundbreaking changes to construction costs and efficiency. This could be of vital importance to the humanitarian sector where rapid deployment […]
