WHY PUPI®

BUILT TOUGH

PULTRUSION PROCESSPUPI® has more fiberglass crossarm pultrusion experience

than any manufacturer. Pultrusion is a highly automated and controlled process for manufacturing continuous fiber

reinforced composite materials of the highest strength and reliability. Continuous glass fibers are combined with fiber

mats, impregnated with thermosetting resin and drawn through heated precision dies to cure the structure. For PUPI products,

an ultraviolet inhibitor is included in the resin, a resin-rich veil mat forms the surface of the part and SunGUARD® UV

resistant coating is thermally bonded to produce composite products with unmatched resistance to outdoor weathering.

PUPI pultruded products are designed and manufactured under careful process control to give uniform, predictable properties

and reliable performance.

SUNGUARD® UV COATINGAll PUPI products feature three levels of weathering protection including exclusive SunGUARD® UV coating. GEOTEK has been manufacturing fiberglass structural products for outdoor applications since 1972. Since 1982, all fiberglass structures have been produced with SunGUARD® UV coating. Since then, not a single product failure of any SunGUARD® UV coated product has been noted anywhere in the world due to environmental degradation, nor has any measurable coating erosion over time been documented. That’s because patented SunGUARD® UV coating is thermally bonded to the surface of PUPI crossarms during the pultrusion process. No other crossarm offers more protection against the elements. With three levels of UV and weathering protection you can expect PUPI crossarms to last 60 or more years in any climate – and we have the longest track record to prove it.

PUPI 3 LEVELS OF UV PROTECTION:

LEVEL 1. An outer surface of our exclusive thermally-bondedSunGUARD® UV coating.

LEVEL 2. A layer of ultraviolet-resistant polyester veil covers the beam underneath the SunGUARD® UV coating.

LEVEL 3. A broad spectrum UV inhibitor is used throughout the entire resin system.

* See the technical appendix for a full description of the PUPI UV protection system.

WHY PUPI®


TORQUEGUARD™ BUSHINGSPUPI fiberglass crossarms are built to withstand bolt torque and increase pin connection strength. PUPI tangents, deadends and transmission arms are available with exclusive crush-resistant internal bushings to prevent damage from over-tightening. PUPI crossarms can withstand over 450 ft-lbs of bolt-tightening torque. It’s a unique idea that makes installation faster and easier – without the worry of damaging the crossarm. PUPI crossarms with TorqueGUARD™ bushings have been tested to exceed RUS requirements for transverse and longitudinal torque strength.

CLOSED-CELL SEALANTInside every PUPI tangent, deadend and transmission arm, you’ll find closed-cell polyurethane foam that seals the beam to prevent moisture contamination – and allows field drilling along the length of the arm. This lightweight foam is designed to completely fill the inside of the beam and will never absorb moisture, or allow water to enter the crossarm.

BUILT TOUGH

PRECISION DRILLINGPUPI crossarm holes are drilled by automated equipment to meet the tightest of tolerances. Holes are carefully drilled “outside-in” to prevent any possibility of delamination or rough edges.

INDUSTRY-LEADING TESTING AND APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT CAPABILITIES

GEOTEK brings nearly 40 years of pultrusion and materials science experience to the PUPI crossarm and brace manufacturing processes. Engineered specifically for the critical demands of the electrical utility industry, PUPI crossarms exhibit performance and reliability that is unmatched. PUPI’s reputation

for durability is built upon years of intensive testing and application engineering.

PUPI SunGUARD UV® coating has been independently tested to the 2,500 hours of accelerated UV exposure specified by the U.S. Rural Utilities Service. After 2,500 hours, PUPI crossarms showed no degradation in flexural strength, modulus or deflection. There was no visible change to the color or gloss of the UV coating.

When tested to 10,000 hours of accelerated UV exposure, PUPI crossarms showed some lightening of the SunGUARD UV® coating color but no other changes in the coating.

UV RESISTANCE TESTING:

Repeated mechanical testing at independent test facilities confirms that PUPI crossarms meet or exceed stated load ratings.

GEOTEK’s on-site mechanical testing facilities can be used to test custom applications of PUPI crossarms and braces.

ENGINEERING SUPPORT

WHY PUPI®


PUPI fiberglass crossarms are designed for field-ready flexibility and easy, efficient installation. A crossarm 60 feet in the air, weighing half the weight of a treated wood beam can make a big difference. PUPI tangents, deadends and transmission arms are ergonomically engineered for the unique demands your field teams face day in and day out. Available in standard drill patterns, or made to order and drilled to your specifications, PUPI crossarms are available with exclusive crush-resistant TorqueGUARD™ bushings that can withstand over 450 ft-lbs of bolt-tightening torque.

Light weight for less fatigue and splinter-free for safer handling. Compared to heavier wood or other composite beams, PUPI fiberglass crossarms can take less half the time to install because they’re designed to use fewer parts and pieces without any special tools – and linemen aren’t exposed to creosote, chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and other chemicals used in treated wood. The closed-cell sealant that fills every PUPI crossarm allows field drilling when necessary. From safer insulating properties to impact-resistant end caps, your field teams can rely on PUPI crossarms for superior strength and consistent performance in any climate.

With three levels of UV and weathering protection you can expect less maintenance and fewer replacements. PUPI crossarms are built to last 60 or more years in any climate – with the longest field experience track record to prove it.
