What is
Hand Lay-Up?
Hand lay-up is the most common and least expensive open-molding method because it requires the least amount of equipment.
Hand Lay-Up
Fiber reinforcements are placed by hand in a mold and resin is applied with a brush or roller.
Hand lay-up is an open molding method suitable for making a wide variety of composites products from very small to very large (including boats, storage tanks, tubs and showers). Hand lay-up is the simplest composites molding method, offering low cost tooling, simple processing, and a wide range of part sizes. Design changes are easily made. The investment in equipment is minimum
The Advantages
The demand for pultruded profiles has rapidly increased the last years and this will continue the coming years for good reasons, which are
ability to withstand highly aggressive chemicals
Light
1/4 the weight of steel
Sustainable
Has the lowest Co2 consumption in lifecycle compared to wood, steel & concrete
Designable
can be designed in any possible shape
Non magnetic
not attracted by a magnet
Low maintenance
easy to assemble and minimal maintenance is needed
Strong
Can be stronger than steel
Fire resistant
using the required resins, results in fire resistance products
Durable
Composites are much more durable then traditional materials, since it will not rust or rot
Weather & Corrosion resistance
Non corrosive and resistant to all weather conditions
