Key Features
- Very high section modulus (wide flanges boost bending strength)
- Continues to be light and corrosion-resistant (fiberglass + resin)
- Fully dielectric (no electrical conductivity)
Benefits
- Allows long spans or heavy loads without intermediate supports
- Great for flooring or bridge decks where wide support beams are needed
- No heavy welding or bolting (the continuous pultrusion creates seamless beams)
Applications
- Bridge deck supports, wide gantry crane rails
- Main structural members in large walkover decks or catwalks
- Frames of pultruded modular buildings (architectural beams)
Technical Specifications
- Flange widths from 150 to 400 mm common, web depths 50–150 mm
- UL94 V-0 fire-retardant versions available with special resin
Unique Selling Points (USPs)
- Combines a steel-like profile with composite advantages (light, maintenance-free)
- Engineered to meet or exceed ASTM and CEI building codes for composite beams
