Zoltek?s Pultruded Profiles

Product catalog summary

Description
Panex® 35 Pultruded Profiles are produced through a cost-effective pultrusion process that creates fiber-reinforced composite parts. The process involves feeding Panex® 35 carbon fiber tows into a proprietary impregnation and curing system, resulting in smooth carbon fiber laminates with efficient thickness laydown. This method ensures superior fiber alignment, enhancing the overall properties of the laminates compared to other composite manufacturing processes.

Key Features

High-Strength
High-Stiffness
Low Density
Corrosion Resistant
High Fiber Volume
Nearly Zero Void Content
Locked-in Filament Alignment

Performance Properties
These profiles are suitable for various applications, including wind energy (as structural members of turbine blades), infrastructure building and repair, offshore drilling, mining, and other structural reinforcement applications.

Product Applications
Typical data for composite properties are provided for plates and rods, with specifications for tensile strength, tensile modulus, density, and strain (elongation at break) for both epoxy and vinyl ester resin types.

Composite Properties
Plates:

Epoxy: Tensile Strength - 2350 MPa, Tensile Modulus - 140 GPa, Density - 1.6 g/cm³, Strain - 1.4%
Vinyl Ester: Tensile Strength - 2100 MPa, Tensile Modulus - 140 GPa, Density - 1.6 g/cm³, Strain - 1.4%

Rods:

Epoxy: Tensile Strength - 2200 MPa, Tensile Modulus - 150 GPa, Density - 1.6 g/cm³, Strain - 1.4%
Vinyl Ester: Tensile Strength - 2000 MPa, Tensile Modulus - 145 GPa, Density - 1.6 g/cm³, Strain - 1.4%

Certification
Panex® 35 Pultruded Profiles are manufactured according to Zoltek’s published data, with a Certificate of Conformance provided with each shipment.

Safety
Users must obtain, read, and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using this or any other Zoltek product.

About Panex® 35 Pultrusion
Zoltek’s pultruded profiles are made using commercial-grade Panex® 35 Continuous Tow carbon fiber, typically with a thermoset epoxy or vinyl ester resin. The process is proprietary, low-cost, and high-throughput, producing profiles available in plates, rods, tubes, or custom shapes.

Catalog excerpts

Panex® 35 Pultruded Profiles Description Pultrusion is a cost-effective, continuous process for producing fiber-reinforced composite parts. Panex® 35 carbon fiber tows are fed into our proprietary impregnation and curing process that creates smooth carbon fiber laminates that provide efficient laydown when building thickness. The specific fiber alignment achieved with pultrusion delivers consistently better overall properties in laminates than any other composite manufacturing process.
