Frequently Asked Questions

Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube ~ 1.5" ID x 72" — Product Details & Usage

What are the key features of the Kevlar Core Carbon Fiber Round Tube (1.5" ID x 72")?

This tube combines a Kevlar core with a carbon fiber outer layer, offering an optimal strength-to-weight ratio. The Kevlar core enhances toughness and impact resistance, while the carbon fiber exterior provides high stiffness and durability. The tube measures 1.5 inches in inner diameter and 72 inches in length, making it suitable for applications requiring lightweight yet strong structural components.

How does the Kevlar core improve performance compared to standard carbon fiber tubes?

The Kevlar core provides additional toughness and impact resistance, reducing the risk of fracture or damage under stress. This makes the tube more suitable for demanding environments or applications where vibration, shock, or repeated impacts are expected. The carbon fiber exterior maintains high stiffness and durability.

The construction our of Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes is identical to our standard twill roll-wrapped tubes except that the uni-directional plies are replaced with prepreg woven Kevlar. By creating a sandwich laminate where carbon fiber comprises the material layers on the inside and outside of these tubes, Kevlar core carbon fiber tubes maintain most of the stiffness of our standard roll-wrapped twill prepreg tubes, but with greatly increased impact and puncture toughness due to the all Kevlar core. Wall thickness is 1/16" with a gloss finish.
