Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is pultrusion?

A. It is a composite synthesis process where the fibres are pulled through a heated die. Constant pressure is applied to resin, resulting in the resin melting and impregnating the fibrous reinforcement. This makes the products lightweight & non-conductive, as well as extremely resistant to corrosion and rot.

Q. What is the purpose of a resin-rich handle?

A. A smooth, resin-rich handle surface protects users from splinters and prevents deterioration due to UV rays.

Q. Why is a fibreglass handle considered better than a wooden handle?

A. A fibreglass pike pole handle is more rigid and has a higher shelf life than wooden handles, since it is unaffected by fungus, termites or dry rot.
