Braided Carbon Fiber Sleeve

Braided Carbon Fiber Sleeve can be slid over a release coated tube or mandrel and used to create very
strong and cosmetically attractive tubes and sections.

Braided Carbon Fiber Sleeve can be expanded or contracted to accommodate a range of diameters. Each
sleeve can be expanded by up to 30% and contracted by up to 70% of the stated diameter.

Braided sleeves are extremely resistant to cracks between layers, reducing the possibility of delaminating
and increasing the strength of the product. When inflated, braided reinforcement works much like a
shark's body, orienting itself to the direction of force. This actually strengthens its outer skin, enabling it to
withstand pressure and carry load, and to tolerate damage and fatigue. If a puncture does occur, the
sleeve provides a slow, controlled failure, rather than a more damaging and potentially dangerous blowup.

Carbon fiber is a material consisting of very thin fibers of 0.005–0.010 mm . The density of carbon fiber is
also considerably lower than the density of steel, making it ideal for applications requiring low weight.
