Comparison of Pultruded Profile with Other Material Pultrusion is said to be the most cost-effective method for the production of fibre-reinforced composite structural profiles. Thereby, it has advantage over various other materials such stainless steel, mild steel, wood etc. Some of the properties at which these profiles are compared with other materials are :
