Pultruded Carbon Fiber

The carbon tube is then heated to cure it.

Pultruded carbon fiber.

Pultruded in an epoxy resin dragonplate carbon fiber pultruded components are exceptionally straight and rigid and are an ideal building material for frames trusses and for use as reinforcing material. Cpi manufactures custom pultruded carbon fiber pultrusion to fit your strength stiffness and geometric requirements. Available in a variety of thicknesses and complex shapes our pultrusion products deliver optimized properties with high fiber volumes nearly zero void content and locked in filament alignment.

Stiffness and affordability tight tolerances wide range of small sized carbon fiber rods great for hobbyists and structural reinforcements pultruded products perform incredibly well in bending and tension pulling applications since all the fibers are oriented along the length of the tube or rod. Zoltek s pultruded profiles are pre cured thick ply carbon fiber laminates for ideal structural reinforcement applications. These carbon fiber rods are stiff straight and strong to be used in a wide range of application. They are perfect for applications of bending and pulling as the carbon fibers run the length of the component.

Pultruded carbon fiber rod is manufactured by a process called pultrusion where long strands of carbon fibers are mixed with epoxy vinylester resin. They can be cut with a band saw coping saw scroll saw end mill or dremel tool. Pultruded rods and shapes perform incredibly well in bending and tension pulling applications since all the fibers are oriented along the length of the tube rod or shape. Because dragonplate carbon fiber tubes are pultruded in an epoxy matrix they will bond readily with scotchweld 2216 epoxy resin.

The term is a portmanteau word combining pull and extrusion as opposed to extrusion which pushes the material pultrusion pulls the material.

Stiffness and affordability tight tolerances wide range of small sizes carbon fiber and fiberglass rods cut to order.

Pultruded round carbon fiber tubes are created by pulling linearly oriented carbon fibers through a resin bath and then a series of tooling to create the specified inner and outer diameters of the tube. Dragonplate carbon fiber tubes are easy to work. Carbon pultrusions are typically utilized for high stiffness applications that require a modulus of elasticity above that of typical e glass.
