Pultrusion is a cost-effective, continuous process for producing fiber-reinforced composite parts. ZOLTEK PX35 carbon fiber tows are fed into a proprietary impregnation and curing process which creates engineered carbon fiber profiles. These profiles enable rapid section buildup when laminating thick
parts such as wind blade spar caps. High fiber alignment achieved with pultrusion delivers consistently superior properties in laminates compared to any other composite manufacturing processes. APPLICATIONS: • Wind Energy (pre-cured carbon composite as the structural member of the turbine blade) • Infrastructure • Offshore Drilling • Mining PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES: • High Stress & Stiffness • Corrosion Resistant • High Fiber Volume • Extremely Low Void Content • Locked In Filament Alignment.
