Carbon Fiber Tubes by Dragon Plate | Made in the USA DragonPlate Carbon Fiber Composites 2019-09-02 | Dragon Plate offers a wide range of carbon fiber tubes for many applications. Our tubes are manufactured by us here in the USA. This provides us with complete control over the tube characteristics and quality. We are here if you need us, contact us to discuss manufacturing tubes to your custom specifications if you do not see what you need.Roll wrapped, prepreg carbon fiber tubes are constructed using multiple wraps of twill and or unidirectional fabrics. Rolled tubes are ideal for applications that require the highest bending, stiffness, and lowest weight such as automation, robotics, telescoping poles, idler rollers, and UAV components. Additionally, the longer length versions of these tubes have options for high and ultra-high modulus, carbon fiber as well as choices for outer fabrics such as colored Kevlar fabrics. The standard finish cello -wrapped gloss but a smooth sanded finish is also available.Braided carbon fiber tubes are comprised of carbon fiber braid and you need directional fabrics.They offer excellent torsional characteristics as well as crush strength and are ideal for high torque applications. These carbon tubes are available in round, rectangular, and square, and can be actually optimize or made with higher modulus, carbon fibers for increased defending stiffness. The standards for these tubes is our proprietary natural surface finish showing a wet, shiny appearance. Many can also be cello wrapper for a glossier look or even peel ply texture finish for improved bonding.Our large diameter carbon fiber tubes are comprised of rolled bi-directional woven carbon fiber. This tubing is designed for large applications such as telescope projects or lightweight drones are carbon fiber. Large tubes come with a texture finish on both the inside and outside for easy bonding and painting.

High Temperature Carbon Fiber vs Standard Carbon Fiber DragonPlate Carbon Fiber Composites 2016-07-29 | This test shows difference between high temperature carbon fiber and standard carbon fiber. Video shows what happens when carbon fiber is subjected to direct heat from propane torch. Standard carbon fiber loses all structural integrity while DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber maintains much of its stiffness. For more info go to dragonplate.com/high-temperature-carbon-fiberDragonplate high temperature carbon fiber sheets are comprised of a special carbon fiber/phenolic prepreg laminate that is formulated and processed to give excellent properties at temperatures much higher than standard epoxy products can withstand. These high temperature sheets maintain most of their rigidity up to 500 F, and can withstand short durations at much higher temperatures. Due to the phenolic resin system, these sheets are very flame retardant, and can survive short duration contact by direct flame. After long duration direct flame contact, mechanical properties will be reduced, but the shape is maintained.
