Low Thermal Conductivity 2×2 Twill Fabric Woven Finish Carbon Fiber Tube

Product Specification

Low Thermal Conductivity 2×2 Twill Fabric Woven Finish Carbon Fiber Tube

The 2×2 Twill Fabric Woven Finish Carbon Fiber Tube is our range of 3K Woven Finish tubes which have a stunning high-gloss / Matte woven carbon fibre finish to complement their incredible strength. With the classic appearance of 2/2 twill carbon fiber coupled with 100% roll-wrapped prepreg carbon fibre construction, these remarkable tubes look as good as they perform.

This tube is ideally suited to a wide range of applications such as radio-controlled models (RC Planes), UAVs, Drones, Multicopters, recreational equipment, sporting goods, robotics, and photography/video equipment (tripods, etc.).

Different from Pultruded carbon fiber tubes, a roll-wrapped tube is lighter in weight, stiffer and stronger. It is widely used for many projects in sports, RC, robots, etc. by hobbyists for surface protection. 3K Carbon fiber tube with high strength, stiffness, and excellent load-bearing performance.

This 3K Woven Finish tube is manufactured from alternating layers of unidirectional prepreg carbon fibre for maximum strength with the final layer swapped for 2/2 twill, 3K woven carbon fibre so that the tube has the classic appearance of woven carbon fibre. This means that although the tubes are designed for demanding mechanical applications, they also look fantastic, adding a cutting-edge carbon fibre appearance to any application.

Appearance

This 3K Woven Finish tube is manufactured from alternating layers of unidirectional prepreg carbon fibre for maximum strength with the final layer swapped for 2/2 twill, 3k woven carbon fibre so that the tube has the classic appearance of woven carbon fibre (exactly the same as our carbon fibre sheets for example). This means that although the tubes are designed for demanding mechanical applications, they also look fantastic, adding a cutting-edge carbon fibre appearance to any application.

To achieve the smooth, glossy appearance the tubes are surface ground, lacquered (with high-gloss UV resistant lacquer) and then polished. The end result is a carbon fibre tube of unrivalled visual appearance making it ideally suited for use in applications where it will be seen.

Performance

Although specially laminated, ground, lacquered and polished to produce a carbon fibre tube with a stunning appearance, our 3K carbon fibre tubes are serious tubes suitable for demanding engineering applications including robotics/automation, R/C models, UAVs, recreational equipment, motorsport and marine.

What are carbon fiber tubes used for?

Carbon fiber tubes are used in a wide range of applications, including tactical ladders, systems, rods, and beams. Carbon fiber provides low weight, and better mechanical properties over conventional materials like aluminum, and steel.

Are carbon fiber tubes strong?

Carbon fiber tubes are used in numerous applications like tactical ladders, trusses, beams, and more. Carbon fiber is typically chosen over traditional materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium because of the following properties: High strength and stiffness to weight.

Do carbon fiber tubes bend?

Our carbon fiber tubing is built using a thermoset epoxy resin. This means that once cured the epoxy never returns to a liquid state. If you tried to bend our tubing it would break with enough applied force but it will not bend. Carbon fiber/epoxy composite is very stiff!
