Applications
Hospital Furniture
Patient’s
comfort and functionality are always important aspects of
new hospital furniture design process. Pultrusion, being
a good insulation material, will make sure to avoid any
discomfort associated with the contact between it and the
patient’s skin. Also, when trying to reduce equipment’s
weight for easier transportation, composites lightweight
without compromising solidity/rigidity offer a definite
advantage.
Water and Wastewater
Although
some fibreglass reinforced parts have been used for quite
some time in cooling towers, it’s just recently that
we’ve seen the main structures use pultrusion as the
construction material. Key inherent properties of this technology,
such as its chemical, humidity and temperature resistance
make it an ideal choice. Pultrall’s capabilities offer
you the possibility of reducing your maintenance costs,
improving the service life of your equipments and a much
greater flexibility of geometries over wood and steel.
All the above characteristics also clearly indicate that
pultrusion is an obvious alternative to other materials
in industrial and/or municipal wastewater treatment applications,
particularly for the fabrication of baffles, weirs and flight
scrapers.
