Carbon Fibre Pultruded strip – 19 x 2 x 1000mm

Enhanced Composites carbon fibre strips are manufactured by using the pultrusion technique in which the high-performance carbon fibres are all orientated parallel to the longitudinal axis (unidirectional) providing great resistance to traction and bending in the direction of the fibres.

Due to its incredible strength and light weight, carbon fibre strip (flat bar) is used in a wide range of applications including small and medium scale radio controlled planes, helicopters, boats and cars, UAVs, robotics and engineering. Ideal for strengthening and adding stiffness to EPP, EPO airplanes, UAV Wings and other RC Models.

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.
