Flat Strips

Pultrusion is the name given to the continuous process of manufacturing composite materials and generally produces sections including tube, rod, box and angle with unidirectional alignment of the fibres.

Because they are pultruded, the carbon fibre strips in this section have unidirectional fibre alignment which gives them the maximum possible strength along their length but leaves them less strong in other planes meaning that particular care needs to be taken to how they are fixed to reduce crush forces and spread any load as evenly as possible.
