CFRP tube matt - Prepreg

CFRP pipe: the versatile prepreg material

What is CFRP tube

CFRP tube stands for carbon fiber reinforced plastic and is an innovative material in the field of lightweight construction. It combines exceptional strength with a low weight, which makes it ideal for many applications. The prepreg technology ensures that the fibers are already impregnated with resin, which facilitates processing and guarantees high quality. The use of CFRP tubes is not only widespread in the automotive and aerospace industries, but also in sports and leisure articles where weight savings are crucial.

The advantages of CFRP prepreg tubes

CFRP prepreg tubes offer numerous advantages. One of the biggest advantages is the high strength combined with low weight, which makes them particularly attractive for applications in aviation and motorsport. They are also corrosion-resistant and have excellent fatigue strength. This makes CFRP tubes a durable and reliable choice. Due to these advantages, they are used in many areas, z.B. in architecture for load-bearing elements or in medical technology.

Application areas and examples

The areas of application for CFRP tubes are diverse. In the aviation industry, for example, they are used in wings or fuselage parts. In motorsport, CFRP components can be found in frames and suspensions because they can significantly increase performance. In the leisure sector, kayaks and bicycles made of CFRP are particularly popular because they are light and stable. The combination of technical advantages and design possibilities makes CFRP tubes an excellent choice for innovative products.
