Experimental values of the temperature on the wall and into the die were obtained for the pultrusion of a modified acrylic resin. The equation of continuity, and energy balance, coupled with a kinetic expression for the curing system, are solved using difference method to calculate the temperature and the conversion profiles in the thickness direction in a rectangular pultrusion die. The effects of the process variables (e.g. pulling rate, die temperature, die thickness and content of fibers) on the performance of the pultrusion are evaluated.
