Machining pultruded profiles can be compared to machining wood, and wood-machining equipment can be used. However, due to the abraison resistance of the reinforcement, steel-maching eqipment is recommended. Hard-metal or diamond tools should be used when working with large series.
Pultruded fibre glass reinforced profiles are elastic, and twisting and bending can occur when machining long profiles. Therefore, it is always necessary to ensure fixed, vibration-free support and retention.
Fibreglass-reinforced plastics are a state-of-the-art construction material that is an alternative to traditional materials such as concrete, steel and wood.
Fibreglass-reinforced plastic is a highly efficient thermal insulator. Thus Fiberline profiles combine a number of qualities that are advantageous in situations requiring thermal insulation.
