Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information: Flame Retardant Carbon Fiber Angle
What is DragonPlate's Flame Retardant Carbon Fiber Angle and how is it constructed?
DragonPlate's Flame Retardant Carbon Fiber Angle is a structural component manufactured with a textured surface finish on both the inside and outside, created from a peel ply fabric. This texture is excellent for bonding, making the angle ideal for use alone or with DragonPlate laminates to build stiff and strong structures. The angle can be cut and trimmed easily using a hacksaw or band saw, or DragonPlate can cut to your CAD drawing. Note: Flame retardancy depends on both the resin system and the geometry, orientation, and integration of the component; customers must verify suitability for their application. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
What flame retardancy standards does DragonPlate's Flame Retardant Carbon Fiber Angle meet?
DragonPlate flame retardant structural carbon fiber materials use the same flame retardant epoxy resin system as DragonPlate flame retardant carbon fiber veneers, which are tested and certified to pass FAR 25.853(a) Appendix F vertical burn specification. However, flame retardancy is dependent on both the resin system and the geometry, orientation, and integration of the component. DragonPlate cannot guarantee that any standard flame retardant structural component will meet and pass specific burn testing for your application. For higher flame retardancy, shapes can be made with flame retardant carbon fiber prepreg materials, which can be manufactured to meet FAR 25.853 vertical burn testing, as well as smoke and toxicity requirements. Note: Customers are responsible for verifying compliance for their specific application.

Use Cases & Benefits
What industries and applications benefit from DragonPlate Flame Retardant Carbon Fiber Angle?
DragonPlate Flame Retardant Carbon Fiber Angle is used in industries such as aerospace, defense, robotics, medical devices, and industrial automation, where flame retardancy, strength, and lightweight materials are critical. Applications include structural assemblies, enclosures, and components requiring compliance with flame retardancy standards. Note: Suitability must be verified for each application; flame retardancy is not guaranteed for all configurations.
Limitations & Compliance
Are there any limitations or compliance considerations for DragonPlate Flame Retardant Carbon Fiber Angle?
Flame retardancy is dependent on both the resin system and the geometry, orientation, and integration of the component. DragonPlate cannot guarantee that standard flame retardant structural components will meet specific burn testing for your application. Customers are responsible for verifying compliance with relevant standards. For higher flame retardancy, prepreg materials can be used. Note: Always consult engineering for compliance requirements and limitations.
Our Angle is produced with a textured surface finish on both the inside and outside. The textured surface is created from a peel ply fabric, this surface is excellent for bonding. This makes our CF Angle ideal by itself or in conjunction with our DragonPlate Laminates to build an extremely stiff and strong structure. Angle can be cut and trimmed easily using a hacksaw/band saw or we can angle to your CAD drawing.
Dragonplate flame retardant structural carbon fiber materials are manufactured with the same flame retardant epoxy resin system used to create our flame retardant carbon fiber veneers. The carbon fiber veneer is tested and certified to pass the FAR 25.853(a) Appendix F vertical burn specification. Since flame retardancy is dependent upon both the resin system, as well as the geometry, orientation, and integration of the components into the overall assembly, we cannot guarantee any particular standard flame retardant structural component will meet and pass the specific burn testing necessary for your application. It is the responsibility of the customer to verify that these carbon fiber materials will meet the requirements for any specific application. If additional flame retardancy is required, many shapes can also be made with flame retardant carbon fiber prepreg materials, which have a higher degree of flame retardancy than our standard Dragonplate flame retardant products, and can be manufactured to meet both FAR 25.853 vertical burn testing, as well as smoke and toxicity requirements. Call us any time to discuss your project with engineering.
