PulFlex Technologies (Ford City, Pa., U.S.) is announcing a direct-to-market 1.5" × 1.5" glass fiber composite T-slot framing solution, Flex Connect. Established in 2016, the composites manufacturer focuses on specialty resin systems and fibers, primarily using pultrusion to achieve high-strength, lightweight and fire-resistant parts at higher volumes than other traditional composite processes.

Flex Connect uses a proprietary resin blend and process, which enables parts with properties comparable to metals and even significantly better in some categories, according to the company. When compared to aluminum, for example, Flex Connect solutions offer low electrical conductivity, a reduction in thermal transfer and require less energy to produce.

The T-slot solution is primarily used for automation, framing and other quick setup systems. Most of the current T-Slot materials are used in factories today to enable quick and easy construction of tables, enclosures and other structural systems.

Generally, PulFlex’s specialty is polyurethane resins, as well as polyester, vinyl ester, phenolic and resin development. The main reinforcement it works with is fiberglass, but PulFlex also uses carbon and hemp fiber.

Light weight, simplified/cost-effective manufacturing, passenger comfort and safety informed materials and process innovations and won awards for the 2022 Toyota Tundra‘s second-row seat frame.
