Key features

• •EASY-TO-USE - Wets out easily with resin, great conformability, and ease of layup
• •STRENGTH - Unidirectional fibers for strength in one direction, fatigue-resistance for durable strength
• •TAPERED, CURVED, IRREGULAR SHAPES - Braided with small elastic bias yarns to fit a variety of shapes, even conforming to parts with varying diameters
• •MAXIMIZE FIBER PROPERTIES - Suitable for use with epoxy or vinyl ester resins, and also polyester resins primarily cosmetic when higher strength-to-weight ratios are not a factor
• •BACKED BY OUR "FIRST QUALITY" GUARANTEE - Fibre Glast is committed to ensuring that the products we handle are always "First Quality" and manufactured in the USA to the highest standards.
• •Our Unidirectional Carbon Fiber Sleeves are ideal for tapered, curved or other irregular shapes and feature ultimate strength in one direction.
• •These unidirectional sleeves are braided with small elastic bias yarns offering conformability, fitting snugly while uniformly distributing the axial reinforcements around the perimeter of the part.
• •Our unidirectional carbon fiber sleeves even conform to parts with varying diameters, irregular shapes, or varying cross-sections like prosthetics and hockey sticks.
• •These sleeves are available in 3/4”, 1-1/2”, 2-1/2” and 3-3/4” diameters.
• •The sleeves can be increased from their base diameter at an average rate of 127%. This means that our 1-1/2" sleeve can be can be expanded to 2.625" in diameter.
• •Laying up sleeves is predictable, repeatable, and suitable for the precise manufacture of composite parts. Unidirectional sleeves fit snugly and uniformly distributing the axial reinforcements around the perimeter of the part while offering ultimate strength in one direction.
• •To maximize the fiber properties, use with epoxy or vinyl ester resins.
• •Polyester resin is also suitable and is primarily used in cosmetic applications where higher strength-to-weight ratios are not a factor.
