Carbon Fibre Pultruded Rod – 04mm x 1000/1100mm

Enhanced Composites carbon fibre rod is manufactured to engineering tolerances from pultruded unidirectional carbon fibres which means that all the strength of the rods runs along their length.

Due to its incredible strength and light weight, carbon fibre rods are used in a wide range of applications including aerospace and motor racing but perhaps its most common use in recreational sports equipment like kites and radio controlled models.

The rod has a diameter of 4mm.

Pultruded products perform incredibly well in bending and tension (pulling) applications since all the fibres are oriented along the length of the rod (or tube). They do not however perform well in other loading scenarios such as torque, torsional move, side loads or crushing.

How to Cut and Shape

They can be cut with a band saw, coping saw, scroll saw, end mill, or dremel tool. Because Enhanced Composites pultruded carbon fibres rods are manufactured using an epoxy matrix they will easily bond with epoxy resins.
