Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information: High Temperature Carbon Fiber
What are DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber products?
DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber products are made from a special carbon fiber/phenolic prepreg laminate, formulated and processed to deliver excellent properties at temperatures much higher than standard epoxy-based carbon fiber products. These materials maintain most of their rigidity up to 500ºF and can withstand short durations at even higher temperatures. Due to the phenolic resin system, they are highly flame retardant and can survive short duration contact by direct flame. After long duration direct flame contact, mechanical properties are reduced, but the shape is maintained. Note: These products are not intended for continuous exposure to direct flame; mechanical properties will degrade with prolonged high-temperature exposure. Source
What product variants are available for high temperature carbon fiber sheets?
DragonPlate offers high temperature carbon fiber prepreg sheets in multiple sizes and thicknesses. For example, a 12" x 12" x 0.075" sheet is priced at $189.01, while a 24" x 36" x 0.2" sheet is priced at $1,602.72. Other available sizes include 12" x 24", 24" x 24", and thicknesses from 0.075" to 0.25". Each variant has a unique SKU for ordering. Note: Pricing does not include shipping, taxes, or customization fees. Source
How do high temperature carbon fiber products differ from standard carbon fiber products?
DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber products use a phenolic resin system, which allows them to maintain rigidity up to 500ºF and survive short-term direct flame contact. Standard carbon fiber products typically use epoxy resins and are not designed for such high-temperature or flame-retardant performance. Note: Standard carbon fiber products may be more suitable for applications where continuous high-temperature exposure is not required. Source
Pricing & Payment
What are the prices for DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber sheets?
Prices for DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber sheets vary by size and thickness. For example, a 12" x 12" x 0.075" sheet costs $189.01, a 24" x 24" x 0.125" sheet costs $834.04, and a 24" x 36" x 0.2" sheet costs $1,602.72. All prices are quoted in US Dollars and do not include shipping, taxes, or customization fees. Note: Prices are subject to change without notice. Source
What payment terms and additional costs should buyers expect?
Payment is typically prepaid via credit card, check, or wire transfer. For approved buyers, maximum payment terms are Net 30, and a 1.5% per month service charge may apply to unpaid balances. Buyers are responsible for shipping, freight, taxes, and handling charges, which are calculated based on weight, dimensions, and shipping method. Bulk discounts may be available for larger orders. Note: Detailed payment terms are available in the Terms and Conditions. Source
Features & Performance
What are the key performance characteristics of DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber products?
DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber products are engineered for high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and environmental resistance. They maintain rigidity up to 500ºF, are flame retardant, and can withstand short-term direct flame contact. The phenolic resin system ensures superior performance compared to standard epoxy-based carbon fiber products. Note: Mechanical properties will be reduced after long duration direct flame contact, but the shape is maintained. Source
Are DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber products flame retardant?
Yes, the phenolic resin system used in DragonPlate high temperature carbon fiber products makes them highly flame retardant. They can survive short duration contact by direct flame, maintaining their shape even after mechanical properties are reduced by prolonged exposure. Note: For applications requiring continuous flame exposure, consult technical documentation or contact support for suitability. Source
