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 2×2 3k woven carbon fibre fabric with a 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 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.
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 grade A 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.
