Manufacturing Efficiency: Pultrusion is a continuous process that provides benefits over alternative composite manufacturing methods such as high volume output, lower costs, and faster lead times.
This is because of the continuous manufacturing process in which the fiber-reinforced material is pulled through the forming die.
Higher manufacturing component cost: The molds and dies used in pultrusion can be expensive.

Rejections because of painting imperfections are eliminated, and what little scrap is left can be easily recovered and recycled back into the manufacturing process, saving time and money.
Bumpers and other large parts require significant time and space to paint, which can increase manufacturing complexity and cost.
Raw materials, scrap and manufacturing complexity can comprise as much as 50 percent of the total cost of a part.

What’s more, using lubricants to protect a component from wear is a two-step process, because the part must first be manufactured, then coated with oil or grease, adding cost to the manufacturing process.
That means you can eliminate the need for a costly two-step manufacturing process to fuse or fasten parts, and also reduce overall component weight.

TPEs offer excellent resealing, low levels of coring, and better manufacturing efficiency compared to traditional materials
Because it meets this crucial requirement, the material can be used to streamline manufacturing and improve efficiency compared to traditional vulcanized rubber.
Fewer manufacturing steps, less time and cost
