FRP pultrusions offer several advantages over traditional materials, like metals, ceramics, and unreinforced plastics. Carbon fiber pultrusions are exceptionally lighter than metal and other materials. Pultruded composites offer a number of advantages over traditional metals and plastics. 

Additionally, they provide superior impact and corrosion resistance compared to metals.   Benefits of Metal-to-Plastic Conversion   Switching from metals to engineered thermoplastic composite materials offers numerous advantages:
