Pultrusion

THI has extensive experience in products produced using Pultrusion technology and offers design and manufacturing capability for almost any product profile. We can tackle nearly any shape regardless of its density and fibre content, from thin wall tubing to structural components.

* Wood expands due to moisture absorption. ** Wood is susceptible to insect damage and mould.

The characteristics of pultruded products lend themselves to replacing traditional materials in many industry areas including:
Mining, Petro-chemical, Electrical, Marine, Water, Construction, Agriculture and in a huge variety of consumer goods.
