Pultrusion Process
How It Works
- Material Preparation: Glass fibers are impregnated with resin in a controlled bath
- Preforming: Fibers are shaped into C-channel configuration
- Molding: Heated mold cures the resin under controlled temperature and pressure
- Continuous Production: Cured profiles are pulled through and cut to length

FAQ
What is a C-channel pultrusion die used for?
It is used to continuously manufacture C-shaped FRP profiles for structural, electrical, and industrial applications like cable trays, ladders, and support channels.
What materials are the dies made from?
They are made from quality tool steels including 40Cr, P20, or H13, with surface hardness HRC55-60 for long service life and precision.
What resin systems are compatible?
Compatible with polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resin systems commonly used in pultrusion manufacturing.
What precision tolerance does it offer?
Precision tolerances of ±0.3mm ensure consistent profile dimensions and high-quality surface finish across continuous production runs.
How long does the die last?
Die life depends on material, resin abrasiveness, and production volume, but quality tool steel construction typically provides 10,000+ meters of continuous production.
Can custom C-channel dimensions be made?
Yes. Custom dimensions, wall thicknesses, and profile geometries are available for specialized applications.
What is the production process?
Fibers are impregnated with resin, preformed into C-channel shape, cured in the heated die under pressure, then continuously pulled and cut to length.
