Tencom is a manufacturer of fiberglass-reinforced composite rods. Through the use of the manufacturing process known as "Pultrusion", we are able to produce composite rod products in a variety of custom lengths and colors. Ourcompany is dedicated to providing its customers consistently high quality product at the very best prices and with no compromises in customer service. Our company can service almost any need in pultruded composite rod. If you use or are considering using composite rod, contact us for a competitive quote. Our company also offers several secondary operations, including the rods punching and drilling of fiberglass. Continuous fiber reinforcement in roving or mat/ roving forms are drawn through a resin bath to coat each fiber with a specially formulated resin mixture. The coated fibers are then drawn through a heated die.

Our contacts and relationships allow us to provide superior product at lower cost than a single commercial user dealing direct with a single factory. Let us quote on your needs! We can research and locate fiberglass products needed for your manufacturing, and in many cases suggest alternate or lower-cost solutions. Quantities for wholesale price breaks can be surprisingly small, and custom colors and lengths are possible as well. Inquire by email or post. Type 1 consists of one 8 ft. length of 1¼" OD and one 8 ft. length of 1" OD round fiberglass tube both having 0.125" wall. The 1" tube snugly-but-easily telescopes in-side the larger tube. Using a recommended 12" overlap yields a usable length of 15 feet...more than enough for 20M!! A foot of this extra length may be easily cut (with a hacksaw) from the 1" OD tube, and epoxied inside the bottom of the 1¼" OD tube. This yields a full ¼" wall thickness(!) at the point of greatest stress...e.g. where the clamps secure the spreaders to the spreader mounting plate-or "spider".
