Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information: High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets
What are DragonPlate High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets?
DragonPlate High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets are composite laminates made with a special carbon fiber/phenolic prepreg. They are engineered to maintain rigidity up to 500°F and withstand short durations at even higher temperatures. The phenolic resin system provides flame retardancy, allowing the sheets to survive brief direct flame contact. Note: After prolonged exposure to direct flame, mechanical properties are reduced, but the sheet shape is maintained. View product details.
What sheet sizes and thicknesses are available for High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets?
Available sizes include 12" x 12", 12" x 24", 24" x 24", and 24" x 36". Thickness options are 0.075", 0.125" (1/8"), 0.2", and 0.25" (1/4"). Each sheet features a textured finish on both sides. See full product list. Note: Custom sizes may not be available for this product; check with sales for specifics.
How much do DragonPlate High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets cost?
Pricing varies by size and thickness. For example, a 12" x 12" x 0.075" sheet costs $189.01, while a 24" x 36" x 0.2" sheet costs $1,602.72. All prices are quoted in US Dollars and are subject to change based on market conditions. Shipping charges are calculated based on package weight and dimensions. View current pricing.

Features & Capabilities
What performance characteristics do High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets offer?
These sheets maintain most of their rigidity up to 500°F and can withstand short durations at even higher temperatures. The phenolic resin system provides flame retardancy, allowing the sheets to survive brief direct flame contact. After prolonged exposure to flame, mechanical properties are reduced but the sheet shape is maintained. Note: For applications requiring higher toughness or impact resistance, consider DragonPlate's Kevlar or carbon/Kevlar hybrid products. Explore Kevlar composites.
Are DragonPlate High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets flame retardant?
Yes, the phenolic resin system used in these sheets is highly flame retardant. The sheets can survive short duration contact by direct flame, maintaining their shape even after prolonged exposure, though mechanical properties may be reduced. Note: For applications requiring extended flame exposure, mechanical performance may be compromised; consult technical documentation for details.
What finish is available for High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets?
All High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets feature a textured finish on both sides. This finish provides improved handling and bonding characteristics. Note: Other finishes may not be available for this product; see DragonPlate Finishes for details on other product lines.

Use Cases & Limitations
What industries and applications are High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets best suited for?
These sheets are ideal for applications requiring high temperature resistance and flame retardancy, such as aerospace, defense, industrial automation, and environments where exposure to heat or flame is expected. Note: For impact-critical or high-toughness applications, consider Kevlar or hybrid products. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
What are the limitations of High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets?
While these sheets maintain rigidity up to 500°F and survive brief direct flame contact, prolonged exposure to flame reduces mechanical properties. They are not designed for continuous high-impact or extended flame exposure. For applications requiring higher toughness or impact resistance, consider Kevlar or carbon/Kevlar hybrid products. Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
Support & Implementation
How easy is it to implement High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets into my project?
DragonPlate High Temp. Carbon Fiber Prepreg Sheets are prefabricated and can be cut, drilled, and bonded using standard tools.
