This tubing is constructed from a combination of carbon fiber and yellow Kevlar fibers, braided together to provide a balance of strength, durability, and toughness. The hybrid composition leverages the high strength-to-weight ratio of carbon fiber and the impact resistance of Kevlar.
The EconomyTube™ Braided Carbon/Yellow Kevlar Round Tubing featured on this page has an inner diameter (ID) of 0.5 inches and a length of 48 inches.
This tubing is suitable for projects requiring lightweight, high-strength, and impact-resistant materials. Common uses include structural components in robotics, drones, aerospace, and custom engineering projects where both carbon fiber and Kevlar properties are beneficial.
The braided construction enhances the tubing's resistance to impact and abrasion, while maintaining flexibility and strength. The combination of carbon fiber and Kevlar in a braided pattern provides improved durability compared to unidirectional or woven-only tubes.
Yes, EconomyTube™ braided carbon/Kevlar tubing can be cut, drilled, and bonded using standard tools and adhesives suitable for composite materials. DragonPlate offers technical guides and recommends proper safety measures for working with carbon fiber and Kevlar composites.
