Technology

Spilka Composites specialize in both pultrusion and filament-winding technology. We have developed decades of expertise in these processes and are always thinking about how we can improve them for our customers.

What is pultrusion?

Pultrusion is a continuous manufacturing process that yields a consistent output of composite profiles, which are then cut to desired lengths upon completion. This method is called pultrusion from the act of pulling the profile through the manufacturing process. Pultrusion provides many advantages, including consistent quality and high-volume production.

A key feature of our technology is the ability to customize material combinations to meet the requirements and specifications of the final product.

What is filament-winding?

Filament winding is a specialized technique used to produce cylindrical or conical composite parts, such as pipes, pressure vessels, and aerospace components. The technique involves precise and automated winding of continuous fibres onto a rotating mandrel or form.

Filament winding enables the creation of strong and seamless structures and optimizes the alignment and orientation of the fibres to meet specific design requirements. This enables engineers to tailor the strength, stiffness, and performance characteristics of the final product.

A quality leader

At Spilka Composites we excel as a quality leader and pioneers by utilizing our expertise and advanced technology in material development, production processes, and customization. This enables us to continually discover better and new ways to offer more efficient composite solutions.

Fire resistance in composite materials


Composite materials achieve fire resistance by using the right resins and reinforcements, adding fire-retardant chemicals, and applying protective coatings. These methods make composites strong and safe, suitable for high-performance uses where both strength and fire safety are essential.

Materials

Composite materials possess a variety of properties that offer a wide range of advantages.

One of the most important properties of our technoloy is the opportunity to tailor material combinations to meet the requirements and specifications for the final product.
