The Carbon Fiber Braided Sleeve is designed to create strong and aesthetically pleasing tubes and sections. It works by sliding over a mandrel or a release coated tube. It can accommodate a wide-range of diameters through sleeve expansion up to 30% and contraction up to 70% of the given diameter. Braided sleeves are known for their superior resistance to cracks between layers and they reduce the risk of delamination, while strengthening the product.
An inflated braided reinforcement performs like the body of a shark, positioning itself in the direction of the force. The outer skin is strengthened and gives it the capacity to withstand pressure, tolerate damage, take fatigue, and carry loads. In case of a puncture, the sleeve controls the progression of damage, averting the risk of a dangerous blowup.
The Carbon Fiber consists of very thin fibers and is denser than steel, making it perfect for use with applications needing low weight. It is light but stable and rigid, corrosion free, offers thermal stability, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic protection, and great wear resistance, leading to a long life.
