Product Information
CARBON FIBER BRAID D=25 MM B60/01 6K
Carbon fiber braid is a cylindrical, flexible carbon fiber reinforcement designed specifically for strengthening and repairing round or curved components. The structure of the braid is based on carbon fiber yarns that typically run at approximately ±45 degrees to the lengthwise axis of the braid. This configuration allows the braid to conform exceptionally well to components of various shapes and sizes.
A unique feature of carbon fiber braid is its adaptability: when stretched, the braid becomes thinner and the weave opens up. When compressed, it thickens and the fiber angle becomes steeper. This makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications. The D-dimension (diameter) specified in the product’s technical data refers to the braid size when the fibers are oriented at ±45 degrees. However, the braid can be used on both smaller and larger diameters. Users should note that this will change the fiber orientation, which may affect the mechanical properties.
Carbon fiber braid is commonly used to reinforce or repair cylindrical structures such as pipes, rods, or shafts. Typical applications include the repair of carbon fiber bicycle frames, the manufacturing of hockey and baseball bats, as well as masts and booms in sailing. Its light weight, strength, and flexibility make it a highly effective material for demanding composite structures.
