For less demanding applications where you can live without the optimized material properties of a quasi-isotropic lay-up, we have created EconomyPlate™. Our EconomyPlate™ sheets are comprised of orthotropic (non quasi-isotropic) laminates utilizing a twill weave at 0/90 orientation, while maintaining a symmetrical and balanced laminate. For this sheet size, we offer the option of a high gloss twill finish or textured finish on one side and a textured finish on the other side providing an excellent bonding surface. As with all DragonPlate solid carbon fiber sheets, EconomyPlate™ is composed entirely of a tough and rigid carbon reinforced epoxy matrix. CNC machining is also available with EconomyPlate™ solid carbon fiber sheets.

Upon request, sheet can be cut into 2 pieces sized 48" x 48" with purchase Contact us for details.

NOTE: Please allow 3-5 business days lead time before product ships. If additional face sheet added, please allow 10-15 days. Call for lead time of larger quantities. Due to size, this sheet must ship freight at an added cost.
