Product Information & Technical Details
What are DragonPlate Carbon/Kevlar Hybrid Sheets and how do they differ from standard carbon fiber sheets?
DragonPlate Carbon/Kevlar Hybrid Sheets are composite panels designed to balance stiffness and toughness. Kevlar is less stiff than carbon fiber but offers higher puncture and fracture toughness, making these sheets suitable for applications requiring impact resistance. Note: These panels may be slightly more difficult to trim than standard carbon fiber sheets due to Kevlar's toughness. View product details.
What finishes and sizes are available for Carbon/Kevlar Hybrid Sheets?
DragonPlate Carbon/Kevlar Hybrid Sheets are available in finishes such as Texture/Texture, Gloss/Texture, and Matte/Texture. Standard sheet sizes include 24" x 48", 24" x 24", 48" x 48", and 48" x 96", with thicknesses ranging from 1/16" to 1/8". Veneer options are also available in various colors and adhesive backings. Note: Custom sizes may be available via CNC cutting services. Explore CNC cutting.

DragonPlate solid Carbon/Kevlar hybrid sheets are ideal for applications where a balance between stiffness and toughness must be achieved. Although Kevlar is not as stiff as carbon fiber, it offers higher puncture and fracture toughness. Because it is a tougher material, however, these panels may be slightly more difficult to trim than our standard carbon fiber sheets.
