Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information: High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Round Tubes
What are High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Round Tubes from DragonPlate?
DragonPlate's High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Round Tubes are composite tubes made from a special carbon fiber/phenolic prepreg laminate. They are engineered to maintain most of their rigidity up to 500°F (260°C) and can withstand short durations at even higher temperatures. The phenolic resin system makes these tubes highly flame retardant, allowing them to survive short-term direct flame contact. After long-duration direct flame exposure, mechanical properties are reduced, but the tube shape is maintained. Note: Not suitable for applications requiring long-term exposure to direct flame without property loss.

Features & Capabilities
What makes DragonPlate's High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Round Tubes suitable for high-temperature applications?
These tubes use a phenolic resin system, allowing them to maintain most rigidity up to 500°F (260°C) and survive short-term exposure to even higher temperatures. The phenolic matrix also provides high flame retardancy, enabling the tubes to withstand short-duration direct flame contact. Note: After long-duration direct flame exposure, mechanical properties are reduced, though the tube shape is maintained.
Are DragonPlate's High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Round Tubes flame retardant?
Yes, the phenolic resin system used in these tubes provides high flame retardancy. The tubes can survive short-duration direct flame contact, maintaining their shape even after long-duration exposure, though mechanical properties will be reduced. Note: Not intended for continuous direct flame exposure where full mechanical properties must be retained.
What are the main limitations of High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Round Tubes?
While these tubes maintain rigidity up to 500°F and can withstand short-term higher temperatures and direct flame, their mechanical properties are reduced after long-duration direct flame contact. They are not intended for applications requiring continuous exposure to high temperatures or flames without property loss. Note: Custom sizes or alternative resin systems are not specified for this product line.

Dragonplate high temperature carbon fiber tubes are comprised of a special carbon fiber/phenolic prepreg laminate that is formulated and processed to give excellent properties at temperatures much higher than standard epoxy products can withstand. These high temperature tubes maintain most of their rigidity up to 500 F, and can withstand short durations at much higher temperatures. Due to the phenolic resin system, these tubes are very flame retardant, and can survive short duration contact by direct flame. After long duration direct flame contact, mechanical properties will be reduced, but the shape is maintained.
