The RS Technology Suite
Proprietary technologies engineered to deliver greater strength, resilience and long-term performance.
Built for Strength, Protection & Longevity
At RS, every pole is more than just a structure – it’s the result of proprietary technologies designed to maximize performance, resilience, and service life.
DuraBOND™
Advanced integrated protection
DuraWOUND™
Strength in every layer
DuraBOND™ is RS’ integrated finish technology, engineered to preserve pole performance, appearance, and durability. It combines aliphatic and aromatic polyurethane layers to create a chemically bonded finish that protects the pole from UV exposure, color fading, moisture, impact, and abrasion. Unlike surface coatings applied after manufacturing, DuraBOND™ is chemically cross-linked with the pole wall during the manufacturing process, becoming an integral part of the structure itself. This ensures protection that lasts the entire service life of the pole.
RS composite poles are manufactured with our proprietary DuraWOUND™ technology, where precision-applied helical and axial filament windings reinforce the pole’s layers, creating a dense, uniform composite laminate with exceptional structural integrity. This helps eliminate failure modes common in conventional pultrusion while delivering superior wall strength and impact resistance.
Designed to Maximize Performance, Resilience, and Service Life
Together, DuraBOND™ and DuraWOUND™ support the strength, protection, and long-term reliability behind RS composite utility poles.
