For less demanding non-cosmetic applications where you can live without the beautiful DragonPlate finish and the optimized material properties of a quasi-isotropic lay-up, we have introduced a new product called EconomyPlate. Our EconomyPlate offering is comprised of orthotropic (non quasi-isotropic) laminates utilizing a twill weave at 0°/90° orientation, while maintaining a symmetrical and balanced laminate. Instead of the standard gloss DragonPlate finish, a textured finish is supplied on both sides to keep the price low, while offering an excellent bonding surface. As with DragonPlate solid carbon fiber sheets, all laminates are composed entirely of a tough and rigid carbon reinforced epoxy matrix. Custom sizes and CNC machining are also available with EconomyPlate solid carbon fiber sheets.

Carbon fiber corner gussets allow for a simple method to bond together flat stock. This is a simple way to create an array of structures using DragonPlate carbon fiber sheets, eliminating the extra cost unnecessary tube or beam supports. Our corner gussets are already molded to 90 degree angles, which will save much time and energy in assembly and the creation of fixtures. Our carbon fiber corner gusset can also work well with our square tubing as an alternative to our three way corner gusset. These carbon fiber gussets are made with a texture by texture finish for an ideal bonding surface, utilizing a quasi-isotropic, symmetrical lay up schedule and a rigid epoxy matrix. Our corner gussets have been designed to work with our Scotchweld #2216 epoxy adhesive kit which is an ideal structural adhesive with extremely high shear and peel strengths.

Our carbon fiber c-channels utilize a 7 layer, quasi-isotropic laminate, giving them more torsional rigidity than I-beams or hat stiffeners. As with all of our engineered building materials, our carbon fiber c-channel has a very high strength to weight ratio, making it an excellent material for strengthening structures or frame construction. The uses for c-channels are endless, making them more versatile as a raw material than I-beams or hat stiffeners. Our c-channels sport a textured finish on both sides to provide an excellent bonding surface for any application.

Like all DragonPlate products, custom sizes and thicknesses are available despite our standard offering. Due to the wide variety of uses for a carbon fiber c-channel, we have developed proprietary universal tooling for our manufacturing process. This tooling allows for custom c-channels to be created with very minimal tooling costs. This tooling can currently produce c-channels from 2 to 7 inches wide, with leg lengths up to 1.75 inches.

Do you have a design that needs increased panel stiffness? Are you looking to increase the structural performance of our carbon fiber sheets? Solve your problems with DragonPlate's carbon fiber hat stiffeners. They can easily be incorporated into existing designs to increase the structural performance by adding stiffness.

Our carbon fiber hat stiffeners are comprised of plain weave carbon fiber in both 0°/90° and ±45° orientations, with 0° uni-directional carbon fiber to add stiffness and strength along the length of the hat stiffener. To optimize the design, we have added the unidirectional only to the cap of the hat stiffener. This fiber placement lets us create a stronger and stiffer hat stiffener while minimizing hat stiffener weight. This design creates a high stiffness to weight ratio, and also creates a beam that is more torsionally rigid when bonded than an i-beam. The carbon fiber hat stiffener has a textured finish on the outside and on the flange surfaces to create an ideal bonding surface.

Combining the classic structural member with modern carbon fiber composites, DragonPlate now offers carbon fiber I-beams, which are an excellent light-weight solution for solving structural problems. These reinforcement carbon fiber I-beams are extremely strong in bending and shear loading. The combination of uni-directional and 0/90 degree plain weave on the top and bottom flanges give the I-beam its high bending strength. Utilizing a 45 degree orientation in the webbing allows the carbon fiber I-beam to have exceptional shear strength, as well as properly transmitting loads between the top and bottom flanges. These properties cannot be obtained as efficiently with pultruded I-beams, as all of the fibers run along the length of the I-beam. DragonPlate's I-beam construction allows for an extremely thin, lightweight I-beam to obtain the same effect as a thicker, heavier pultruded I-beam. Carbon fiber I-beams can offer similar properties in bending and shear as sandwich panels with the same thickness, but without the added weight from unnecessary core material. With a textured finish on the top and bottom, our carbon fiber I-beams are perfect for bonding to thin panels to create an extremely stiff and strong structure.

LIGHTWEIGHT AND STRONG! This versatile tubing is comprised of Carbon Fiber Braid and Unidirectional Fabrics, ideal for building light weight frames and structures. Our Carbon Fiber large tubing has been engineered to be much stronger under torsional and side loading than pultruded tubing. Our carbon fiber tubing is also significantly lighter than pultruded tubing. Carbon fiber large tube as been designed so that the unidirectional layers are captured in a sandwich structure, eliminating longitudinal cracking and splitting. The finish on this product is different from our other product lines. These tubes show the texture of the carbon fiber braid with a wet shiny appearance. NEW! TUBE SPLICES Now you can create custom length square tubes! These splices join our carbon fiber large square and rectangular tubes to create any length you need. Made of multiple layers of carbon fiber, these splices fit on the inside of our tubes making near seamless tubes of any length!

NEW PRODUCT!
Now you can build super strong carbon fiber structures with our new gussets for our carbon fiber square tubes!

Gussets are widely used to reinforce tube structures but are commonly made from heavy materials. Our new gusset kits allow for an infinite combination of lightweight structures to be built with our square and rectangular tubing. Each gusset is a solid carbon fiber DragonPlate laminate. The laminate thickness is equal to our tubing wall thickness. The front face of the gusset has our low glare, scratch resistant matte finish, and the back has a peel ply finish that is ideal for bonding. Our gusset plates have been designed to work with our Scotchweld #2216 epoxy adhesive kit. This is an ideal structural adhesive with extremely high shear and peel strengths.

Each kit includes a set of pre-drilled gussets and enough blind rivets to help locate and hold the gusset plates to the tubes during bonding.
