METHOD FOR PRODUCING A COMPOSITE PROFILED SECTION AND COMPOSITE PROFILED SECTION

The invention concerns a method for the production of a composite profiled section comprising a core and a shell, in particular intended for use as a reinforcing element or reinforcing rod in a, preferably thermoplastic, plastic material and/or for use as a reinforcing rod for a spring clip, wherein the shell has shell fibres which are laid around the circumference of the core, wherein, subsequent to the application of the shell fibres to the core, at least one supporting fibre is wound around the shell fibres applied to the core by means of a winding device for the production of a preformed pre-composite profiled section. As an alternative and/or in addition thereto, a method for producing an aforementioned composite profiled section is provided, wherein the core is produced continuously by foam extrusion with at least one extruder.
