Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information: 1/8" 0/90 Carbon Fiber High Modulus Uni Sheets
What are 1/8" 0/90 Carbon Fiber High Modulus Uni Sheets?
These are high modulus carbon fiber sheets fabricated by DragonPlate using a special fiber processed for nearly double the stiffness of standard uni prepreg sheets and about 2.5 times the stiffness of standard solid DragonPlate sheets. They are available with a textured finish on both sides and are designed for applications where minimum panel thickness, weight, and deflection are critical. Note: These sheets are more expensive than standard carbon fiber options and have a lead time of 10-15 days before shipping.
What sizes and prices are available for 1/8" 0/90 Carbon Fiber High Modulus Uni Sheets?
The following standard sizes and prices are available:
- 12" x 12": $209.89 (SKU: FDPLHI-MOD04T*90*1212)
- 12" x 24": $394.77 (SKU: FDPLHI-MOD04T*90*1224)
- 24" x 24": $739.54 (SKU: FDPLHI-MOD04T*90*2424)
- 24" x 36": $1,034.26 (SKU: FDPLHI-MOD04T*90*2436)
All sheets are 1/8" thick with a textured finish on both sides. Note: Custom sizes up to 30" x 40" and 1/2" thick are available upon request, but may have different pricing and lead times.
How does the stiffness and weight of these high modulus sheets compare to aluminum and standard carbon fiber sheets?
DragonPlate's high modulus carbon fiber sheets are approximately 50% stiffer than aluminum while weighing about half as much. Compared to standard DragonPlate solid sheets, these high modulus sheets are about 2.5 times as stiff, and nearly twice as stiff as standard uni prepreg sheets. Note: While they offer significant weight savings and stiffness, they are more expensive than standard carbon fiber options.
What is the typical lead time for 1/8" 0/90 Carbon Fiber High Modulus Uni Sheets?
The typical lead time before shipping is 10-15 days for these high modulus sheets. Note: Lead times for custom sizes or large orders may vary; contact DragonPlate for details.
Can I order custom sizes or thicknesses for high modulus carbon fiber sheets?
Yes, DragonPlate can custom fabricate high modulus carbon fiber sheets up to 30" x 40" and 1/2" thick upon request. Contact DragonPlate directly to discuss your specific requirements, pricing, and lead times. Note: Custom orders may require additional time and cost.
Features & Capabilities
What are the main features and benefits of DragonPlate's high modulus carbon fiber sheets?
Key features include:
- High modulus fiber for exceptional stiffness (about 2.5x stiffer than standard DragonPlate solid sheets)
- Approximately 50% stiffer than aluminum at half the weight
- Textured finish on both sides for improved bonding and handling
- Available in multiple standard sizes and custom options
- ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturing for quality assurance
Note: These sheets are more expensive than standard carbon fiber options and may not be suitable for all budgets or applications.
What technical documentation and resources are available for DragonPlate high modulus sheets?
DragonPlate provides downloadable CAD models (access here), technical specifications and weights (view here), and fiber data sheets for various fiber types. Additional resources include the Ultimate Guide to Carbon Fiber Design and Application and a FAQ page. Note: Some resources may not be specific to high modulus sheets; verify applicability for your project.
Use Cases & Applications
What types of projects or industries are best suited for 1/8" 0/90 Carbon Fiber High Modulus Uni Sheets?
These sheets are ideal for applications where minimum panel thickness, weight, and deflection are critical, such as aerospace, robotics, industrial automation, and high-performance engineering projects. They are also suitable for custom fabrication where high stiffness-to-weight ratio is required. Note: For applications with less demanding stiffness requirements, standard carbon fiber sheets may be more cost-effective.
Can DragonPlate high modulus sheets be used in custom assemblies or CNC-cut parts?
Yes, DragonPlate offers custom fabrication services, including CNC cutting and tailored laminate schedules, to integrate high modulus sheets into custom assemblies or parts. For more information, visit the custom fabrication page. Note: Custom fabrication may increase lead time and cost.
Ordering, Shipping & Support
How do I order 1/8" 0/90 Carbon Fiber High Modulus Uni Sheets?
You can order standard sizes directly from the DragonPlate website by selecting your desired size and adding it to your cart. For custom sizes or large orders, contact DragonPlate via the contact page or call 315-252-2559 (Mon-Fri 8:30am – 5:00pm ET). Note: Custom orders may require additional lead time and pricing confirmation.
What support resources are available if I have questions about high modulus sheets?
Support resources include the DragonPlate FAQ page, technical documentation, and direct customer service via phone (315-252-2559) or the contact form. For technical integration, downloadable CAD models and technical guides are available. Note: For highly specialized applications, consult with DragonPlate engineers for guidance.
Limitations & Considerations
What are the limitations or considerations when choosing high modulus carbon fiber sheets?
High modulus carbon fiber sheets are more expensive than standard carbon fiber options and have a lead time of 10-15 days before shipping. They are best suited for applications where maximum stiffness and minimum weight are critical. For less demanding applications, standard carbon fiber sheets may be more cost-effective. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics if your application has unique requirements.
Dragonplate high modulus carbon fiber sheets are fabricated using a special type of fiber that is processed to have a stiffness almost double that of our standard uni prepreg sheets and about 2.5 times as stiff as our standard solid Dragonplate. This product is available in a textured finish on both sides.
