How the Fiberglass Rods Are Manufactured: The Pultrusion Process Explained

The Fiberglass Rod Production at HUBEI YULONG

HUBEI YULONG fiberglass rods is also named as FRP rod, fiberglass poles and fiberglass stakes, it is a kind of fiberglass composites made by pultrusion process with E glass fiber roving and different resins, FRP rod offers superior strength, corrosion resistance & lightweight properties. Ideal for electrical insulation, construction reinforcement, chemical plants & marine applications, especially for plant support. Non-conductive, rust-proof & durable alternative to steel. Custom sizes & OEM services available. Contact us for solutions!

 

Why Choose YULONG Pultruded Fiberglass Rods?

Unlike traditional molding methods, pultrusion allows for:
✔ Greater strength & rigidity – Higher tensile strength than standard FRP
✔ Complex profile shapes – Unattainable with conventional molding
✔ Continuous production – Enables large-scale manufacturing
✔ Custom resin options – Epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester, and polyurethane

HUBEI YULONG’s pultruded fiberglass rods outperform steel, aluminum, and wood in strength, weight, and corrosion resistance.

The Pultrusion Process: Step by Step

  1. Fiber Reinforcement Preparation
    • Fiberglass rovingare fed from creels into a guide system
    • Fibers are precisely aligned for optimal strength
  1. Resin Impregnation
  • Fibers pass through a resin bath(polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy)
  • Additives (UV inhibitors, fire retardants, pigments) enhance performance
  1. Pre-Forming & Shaping
  • Excess resin is removed
  • Reinforcements are shaped before entering the heated die
  1. Curing in Heated Die
  • The resin-hardened composite takes its final shape
  • Continuous pulling ensures uniform strength
  1. Cutting & Finishing
  • The cured fiberglass rodis cut to desired lengths
  • Surface treatments (veils, coatings) are applied if needed

 

Key Advantages of YULONG FRP Pultruded Fiberglass Rods

  Lightweight Yet Strong

  • 70% lighter than steelbut with comparable strength
  • Ideal for applications requiring high strength-to-weight ratios

  Non-Conductive & Thermally Insulating

  • Perfect for electrical insulationand high-temperature environments
  • Safer than metal in utility and constructionapplications

  Corrosion & Weather Resistant

  • No rust, rot, or degradationfrom moisture, chemicals, or UV exposure
  • Long lifespan in marine, industrial, and outdoor settings

  Highly Customizable

  • Available in rods, tubes, sheets, and custom profiles
  • Adjustable diameters, lengths, and resin formulations
