The UniPul corrosion defiant door is pultruded as a homogenous
Isophthalic Polyester Resin shell hermetically encapsulating a
Polyurethane Isocyanurate core, this composite structure delivers
the same benefits of steel with none of the drawbacks.
Our pultruded FRP doors, doorframes, window frames and louvers have low
embodied energy and thermal performance comparable to wood and vinyl.
Pultruded FRP is incredibly durable, stable and virtually maintenance
free. Be advised, however, that all FRP doors are NOT created equal.
Conventional FRP doors are manufactured using a mold and/or hand-laid 'gelcoat'
method, then assembled with metal fasteners and/or glued together on an
FRP or aluminum frame. Our door system offers the ONLY 100% FRP DOOR which
is ENTIRELY PULTRUDED.
Manufactured with precision to meet critical installation tolerances and
accept any hardware including security electronics, the UniPul
corrosion defiant door is immune to magnetism and rust, insulates against
heat and cold, resists chemicals, salt air, physical abuse, chronic
moisture, bacteria and radiation and will never delaminate, chalk, craze,
fuz or warp.
All these features combine to save energy, reduce overall life-cycle cost,
respect
environmental well-being and maximize ROI.
Specific environmental benefits of pultruded products include reduced magnetic
fields,
low embodied energy
and non-conductive insulation against heat and cold.
Yet in comparison to steel, FRP materials are lightweight and easy to install
--
all of which saves energy and further reduces overall life-cycle cost.
However, if disposal is ever necessary FRP material poses no known threat
to the environment.

*Pultrusion
is a machine process that mechanically pulls
a continuous fabric of glass (or other) fiber reinforcement through a
catalyzed resin bath or injector in front of a die.
The resin saturated
fiber is pulled through a heated steel die, activating
thermogenic chemical bonds in the forming polymer. A solid cured profile
emerges from the die, is cut to length and custom prepped
for each particular installation.
This highly specialized
machine process produces materials with remarkably durable physical
properties. The pultruded force combined with the
thermogenic chemical bonding does for conventional fiberglass
reinforced plastic products
what extrusion does for aluminum and what vulcanization does for rubber:
Causes molecules to link in a way that creates a more stable and durable
product. [LEARN
