DragonPlate’s roll-wrapped twill carbon fiber square tubes are manufactured with the uni sandwiched between twill weave layers on the inside and outside surfaces of the tube. This construction provides better support for the uni layer, enhancing toughness and stability, particularly near the tube ends, and interfaces well with our modular connector. Outside finish is gloss.
Carbon fiber tube manufacturers often only include a twill layer on the outside of the tube, as this approach is less costly and easier to make, but provides less support to the inner surface of the uni layer. At DragonPlate, we consider this additional layer of twill to be worth the extra effort, as it yields higher-quality and more robust tubes for our customers.
Roll-wrapped twill finish square tubes are ideal for building lightweight frames and structures, tubular vessels, poles, column supports, and any other applications where low weight and high stiffness are essential, yet appearance is also important.
