Round Tubes
Exel's continuous production technologies pultrusion, pullwinding, co-winding and pre-preg moulding enable the manufacture of high-performance composite tubes while optimizing the structure by orientation of the fibres and and minimizing the use of raw materials. Exel has optimized its production methods so that it can also manufacture products that have very thin walls.
The choice of reinforcing materials is determined by the technical demands for the tube, such as weight, stiffness and strength, and its ability to insulate heat and electricity.
Glass fibre is widely used reinforcing the material that gives the product the properties like light weight, durability, stiffness and wide range of colours.
Carbon fibre enables the manufacture of even lighter and stiffer tubes. It should be noted that carbon fibre conducts electricity. Carbon fibre products are always black.
A hybrid is a product that combines more than one fibre material. It is thus possible to optimize lightness, stiffness, strength and costs.
High quality surface
Tubes usually have a non-woven surface, and the surface resin is pigmented throughout. The pigment can be selected from numerous standard colours, for instance, according to RAL or PANTONE colour codes. If requested, the colour can be made to the customer’s requirements. Tubes may also be given a spiral surface. The customer’s name or some other information may be printed on the tube surface.
