Carbon fiber composite rods manufactured in pultrusion
Our composite rods are manufactured in pultrusion in our French factory in Gaillan Médoc according to the strictest industrial standards.
- Epoxy matrix (or other specific matrices as required),
- High Strength (HR / HS), Intermediate Modulus (IM), High Modulus (HM) or Very High Modulus (THM / UHM) carbon fiber depending on the mechanical requirements.
- Function integration (optical fiber, thermoplastic protective layer, glass fiber insulating layer…)
- Customized section (from Ø3mm to Ø30mm)
- Custom length, up to 10km
