Hexagon Composite Sdn. Bhd.The Advance Composite Manufacturer

FRP Pultrusion started as a division of Polymer Composite Asia (PCA) in �989 under Hexagon Holdings Berhad which is a Malaysia public listed company with diverse business activities.

The division is principally engaged in the manufacture of gratings, cable ladders & trays, stair treads, handrails and structural profile sections from advanced composites materials using the pultrusion process at PCA’s fabrication plant in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.

PCA FRP products have been widely used in various industries worldwide, primarily in Oil & Gas, Offshore / Onshore platforms and others, such as marine facilities, chemical, petrochemical and power plants, etc.

PCA pultrusion division has grown to become an independent subsidiary of Hexagon Holdings Berhad and established itself as Hexagon Composite Sdn. Bhd. in 2008. The new manufacturing facility is located in a �4,000 square feet factory in Balakong, Selangor.

TRUGRID® FRP Cable Support SystemThe TRUGRID® Cable Support System was designed and manufactured to eliminate the endless problems faced by plant engineers using conventional cable support system made from galvanised steel, aluminium or thermoplastics.

The following are some of the special features of the system.

CHEMICAL AND CORROSION RESISTANCE

TRUGRID® Cable Support System is made from a selection of premium resin reinforced with glass fibers to form a strong composite which is resistant to most chemicals and Ultra Violet. TRUGRID® Cable Support System resists acids, salts, alkalis and a wide range of aggressive chemicals and solvents. This property is not superficial, as in coated steel but integrated throughout the components used. Corrosion often initiates from scratches which are caused while cable are being installed in conventional support systems. However this is not a problem with the use of the TRUGRID® System. Cable trays and Ladders are also available in fire retardant grade.

STRENGTH WEIGHT RATIO

TRUGRID® Cable Support System is fabricated from components derived from a process called PULTRUSION. This process enables a high percentage of glass to be incorporated into the components giving it very superior strength. The strength of TRUGRID® System in relation to its weight therefore exceeds the performance of those of steel or aluminium.

EASE OF INSTALLATION

The weight of the pultruded components used is approximately one quarter the weight of steel or two thirds of aluminium.

Unlike stainless steel, pultruded components are easier to handle and can be drilled or cut on site using handtools. Lower installation cost would contribute to substantial savings.
