COMPOSITE MATERIALS - CARBON FIBER

"Composite" is a general term which means an assembly of dissimilar materials used together. They are carefully engineered and are uniquely suited to be extremely strong and surprisingly light weight. These materials consist of a resin matrix and a fiber reinforcement. As a result, Carbon Fiber is a fantastic material to use for robot armor, interior component mounting, and any situation where you want rigidity but do not want to add much weight. Carbon fiber is even lighter than Polycarbonate Plastic.

About our Carbon Fiber
We strive to be in the forefront of the latest materials available. We know carbon products can be made cheaper using the cheapest fabric available and laminated with polyester resin using fiberglass chopped mat sometimes as a filler. On the high side you can purchase sheets made from expensive prepreg material, but there is usually no reason to pay the premium for this unless you have some extreme requirements. Although it sounds impressive it does not necessarily have higher properties than a correctly fabricated epoxy resin, vacuum bagged, post cured part.

ATTENTION: Due to recent International carbon shortages, our carbon fiber products may take up to 14 days to manufacture, instead of our usual 1-3 day production time. This is an industry-wide delay. Be assured that we are handling all orders as quickly as possible. We apologize for any inconvenience.

	Carbon Fiber Sample Pack A sample pack of small Carbon Fiber sheets in all standard thickness. Sizes, colors and thickness of Carbon Fiber in the sample packs may vary. This is not intended for project use, but rather to give you an idea of what is available.
	Carbon Fiber Super Sampler A sample pack of several of the carbon fiber products we carry. Each Super Sampler will contain: - 8 flat samples, including silver and graphite colors - 1 foam sandwich sample - 1 angle Sizes, colors and thickness of Carbon Fiber in the sample packs may vary.
