Carbon Fibre Sheet – 3mm x 500mm x 500mm – Forged look

Enhanced Composites carbon fibre sheet are manufactured using 100% high strength carbon fibre reinforcement and epoxy, cured under a strictly controlled process to produce the highest standard of carbon fibre sheet. Enhanced Composites Carbon fibre plates are suitable for fully structural applications whilst also having a class-A (cosmetic), pinhole free finish on both sides.

Both surfaces of the sheet use a high quality forged carbon fibre fabric with a semi gloss finish. After the curing process and before cutting or stocking, the sheets are coated in a high-quality protective film on both sides to ensure they remain in pristine condition during transport.

Typical Uses

• Motorsport / marine / light aircraft
• Engineering / automation
• Displays / exhibitions / shop-fitting
• Cabinets / enclosures / high-end audio
• Further processing into sandwich panels

Advantages

• Pin-hole free semi gloss cosmetic surface
• 100% high strength carbon fibre reinforcement throughout
• Wide range of thicknesses and sheet sizes available

To create a more uniform distribution of strength, all Enhanced Composites sheets are manufactured using layers of 0°/90° and 45°/-45° oriented reinforcement in what is known as quasi-isotropic fibre orientation. Carbon fibre sheets using this layup technique offer improved stiffness across their diagonal axis and significantly improved torsional stiffness. The top layers are finished in forged carbon look.

All panels are made with a high-performance epoxy resin that offers excellent mechanical functions, clarity and improved UV stability, however we recommend an UV stable coat to prolong the finish. An elevated post-cure temperature is applied to increase the mechanical strength of the panel, resulting in a higher Tg and enhancing the inter-laminar sheer strength.
