Pultrusion Capabilities
Razor Composites can manufacture custom fiberglass pultrusions for virtually any industry. Razor is the one pultruder with a proven track record of producing both:
- Highly complex fiberglass profiles such as window lineals, made with consistent high quality, and
- Commodity shapes such as tubes and poles, made cost effectively enough to compete with overseas producers.
Design
Razor Composites' skilled design team will help you create the right profile for your needs, showing you how to design in performance while designing out cost. Our designers marry the unique, value-added attributes of pultruded fiberglass with our material and process expertise to create a profile that delivers value and consistency.
Material Selection
Most Razor Composite pultrusions consist of thermosetting polyester resins used with glass rovings and mat. We have the capability to manufacture composites using other special materials to meet product requirements or to solve customer issues that customers cannot find with other pultruders.
Pultrusion
In addition to complex fenestration profiles and pultruded tubes, Razor Composites has experience producing "T" and "L" profiles, channel profiles, flat profiles and other shapes.
Razor Composites has developed a manufacturing process for producing a smooth, high quality finish that many believe is the best available in the industry. Specialty veils are also used to add a unique appearance to many tool handles.
Fabrication
Our in-house finishing department can perform machining and assembly functions, often on-line, to save our customers the time and cost associated with secondary operations. Razor Composites can fabricate a variety of holes, slots, notches, and many other types of secondary operations required by our customers.

Razor Composites is a leading pultruder with the expertise to design and manufacture profiles in almost any shape for any industry. We make tight tolerance, custom designed, simple or complex profiles that are used in a multitude of industries, particularly the fenestration, lawn and garden, refrigeration, electrical, construction, and recreation industries.
Fenestration — Windows & Doors
Razor Composites specializes in complex pultruded window lineals and sills, door thresholds, and skylights for several highly regarded window and door manufacturers. With our in-house design team we are able to work with our customers to develop a design into a high quality pultrudable profile. Our in-house finishing department can perform machining and assembly functions, often on-line, to save our customers the time and cost associated with secondary operations.
Lawn & Garden — Tool Handles
Razor Composites can manufacture pultruded tool handles in almost any size, wall thickness, color and shape that is required. We utilize special materials to meet product requirements or to solve customer issues, a value add that is not found in other pultruders. We also provide many different custom finishing operations to include: drilling, slotting, assembly, routing, and gluing of tips and caps.
Razor Composites also specializes in designing and manufacturing profiles that are utilized in refrigeration, trucking, electrical, and both heavy and light construction. Our expertise can meet your product's needs.
Why Pultrusion
Pultruded fiberglass is a material made from glass fibers that are impregnated with a resin and continuously pulled through a heated die that forms the shape of the profile. The result is a fiberglass composite profile that has physical properties far superior to other materials.

Razor's Pultruded Fiberglass' attributes drive improved performance and lower costs for your product.
Windows and Doors
Razor Composite's pultruded fiberglass is a far better material than vinyl, aluminum, or wood for the window and door industry.
- When exposed to hot and cold climates pultruded fiberglass expands and contracts at the same rate of glass, providing a strong defense against seal failures and air leakage.
- The strength found in pultruded fiberglass mitigates the need for bulky or strength reinforced window lineals, providing the design flexibility to have a strong window with a sleeker frame and a larger glass viewing area.
- Fiberglass is extremely durable, and won't crack, rot, bow, or be susceptible to insects — alleviating consumers of the nuisance of performing upkeep, repairs, and replacement of their windows.
- Unlike vinyl, fiberglass' stability and low thermal expansion provide an excellent surface to paint any color, light or dark.
Tool Handles
Pultruded fiberglass is an excellent choice for construction, industrial, and lawn & garden tool handles.
- Fiberglass has a very high strength to weight ratio, alleviating a tool from being needlessly heavy.
- Fiberglass can be pultruded to almost any size and wall thickness, giving the product just the right balance and feel.
- The durability and corrosion resistance of fiberglass stand up to the harsh conditions of outdoor climates.
- Fiberglass tool handles can be made to match virtually any color and can be designed to have unique designs and styling.
Pultruded fiberglass' physical properties and consistent quality can be utilized to improve products in any industry. Fiberglass' strength, durability, and low conductivity can add value and improve the performance of products in the refrigeration, trucking, fencing, decking, electrical, and a multitude of other markets.
