Abstract

Fiber reinforced plastics, due to their good mechanical properties and simultaneously low density, are very attractive for many uses. They are also gaining more importance in the civil engineering applications. Bio composites based on sustainable raw materials are becoming much more attractive, especially in construction industry, due to their recyclability and eco balance benefits. In this paper, a method to develop a façade profile from regenerated viscose filament and bio resin system (PTP®) using pultrusion process is discussed. The PTP® resin system from Bio-Composites And More GmbH comprises of 60% epoxidized vegetable oil. The pultrusion process is optimized to reach 60 cm/min speed from the initial speed of 4 cm/min by modifying the resin mixture. Though the production speeds are below the industrial standards, economic production scale could be still reached.
