FibreRail - About the System
The FibreRail system is
constructed using two specific methods. The costructio of the
tube is produced using a process called pultrusion. Pultrusion
is a continuous moulding process using fibre reinforcements
with thermosetting resin matrices.
Pre-selected reinforcement materials, such as fibreglass
roving, mat,woven fabrics or stitched fabric, are drawn
through a resin bath in which all material is thoroughly
impregnated with a liquid thermosetting resin.
Typical resins included
polyester, vinyl esters and phenolics. The wet-out fibre is
formed to the desired geometric shape and pulled into a heated
steel die. Once inside the die, the resin cure is initiated by
controlling precise elevated temperatures. The laminated
solidifies in the exact cavity shape of the die, as it is
continuously pulled by the pultrusion machine.
The fittings are constructed
using a process called BMC (Bulk mould compound) this process
produces and exceptionally strong product.
