Pultrusion:
- a process for producing continuous lengths of fibre-reinforced composite. Liquid resin, fibre and other additives are pulled through a heated die to form a rigid cured structure. This contrasts with extrusion, in which the ingredients are pushed through the die. The structure emerges from the die in the desired shape and requires no further processing.
