Scott Bader has supported many companies in the tank and pipe manufacturing industries with the filament winding process.

It is a process based on impregnating reinforcing fibres with activated resin, then winding them onto a rotating mandrel. Successive layers of reinforcement are built up on the mandrel until the required thickness is achieved.

The reinforcement can be wound longitudinally, circumferentially, helically, or in a combination of one or more of these. The properties required from the finished article will often determine the angle of wind.
