Technical Details
Quasi-Isotropic Layup
To create a more uniform distribution of strength, all our sheets are manufactured using both 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.
Laminate Composition
The matrix used is a high performance epoxy resin which offers excellent mechanicals, clarity and improved UV stability. The high temperature cure maximises the mechanical strength properties and results in a Tg (glass transition) of 80°C.
To achieve maximum stability and flatness in the sheets, we used 'balanced' laminates for all sheet thicknesses. This means that the fibre type, weight and weave is symmetrical from the front to the back ply.
How to Cut and Shape
This carbon fibre sheet can easily be cut and finished to a high standard using simple workshop tools. Cutting and finishing carbon fibre can also be perfectly safe if you follow some basic safety precautions.
Manufacturing Contracts
Our sophisticated manufacturing process and facilities mean that HyperDriveCarbon can produce carbon fibre or composite sheet to almost any specification. We currently supply specialist carbon fibre sheet to many famous brands from the world of RC, high-end audio, F1, motorsport and marine sectors.
