Braided Carbon Fiber and Kevlar Round Tubes

Braided Carbon Fiber and Kevlar Round TubesBraided Carbon Fiber and Kevlar Round Tubes

Braided Carbon Fiber Tube ProjectsThese tubes are comprised of carbon fiber braid and unidirectional fabrics. This product is ideal for building lightweight frames and structures such as trusses. Our carbon fiber tubes have been engineered to be much stronger under torsional and side loading than pultruded tubing. They're also significantly lighter than pultruded tubing. Our carbon fiber large tubes have been designed so that the unidirectional layers are captured, 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 and shiny appearance. For tubes with higher bending stiffness, see our carbon fiber roll wrapped tubing.
