A pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA-GF) subway emergency exit walkway. The advantages of composites over metal for these type of applications include non-conductivity, lightweight for ease of installation, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
Hyundai front bumper crash beam development, manufactured by CQFD using curved reactive thermoplastic pultrusion (CRTP) of continuous glass fibre reinforced nylon 6 (PA-GF), overmoulded with glass fibre reinforced black PA-GF
Cross section of thermoplastic pultruded composite box beam, by CQFD, made up of unidirectional glass fibre and in-situ cast nylon 6 (PA-GF) used for construction
Cross section of thermoplastic pultruded composite, by CQFD, made up of unidirectional glass fibre and in-situ cast nylon 6 (PA-GF) suitable for construction and automotive applications
Pultruded profiles from carbon fibre reinforced epoxy (EP-CF) composite. Utilising carbon fibre in this way reduces the weight of structures by around 30% and 50% compared to conventional aluminium alloys and steel, respectively.
