Filament Winding
Filament winding is an ideal production method for producing cylindrical structures. Filament winding process has two different types. (A) Helical Filament Winding (B) Continuous Filament Winding. Fiberglass and catalyzed resin are wound over a rotating mandrel. Composite tanks, silos, ducts, water tanks, pipes and pressurized vessels are produced with this method. Polipol 3562 has high mechanical properties and good fiber wet-out. Polipol 3872-I is the preferred choice where high elongation at breaking point and chemical resistance is needed.

Helical Filament Winding Application
Fibers are wetted in the resin bath.After the resin bath, fibers are wound around a constant length rotating steel mandrel. Angular winding in a longitudinal direction will provide more strength. With this method, production of consistent size pipes are possible.
A polyester based release film is applied on the mandrel and a chemical resistant layer will form the first layer. Continuous fiberglass is applied for structural integrity. These composite materials contain no or low filler. This provides a lighter product but at a higher cost. This type of production is usually preferred for chemical process equipment and pressurized vessels.
