About Composites

Conductive Graphite Rods

Composites

Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Rods

Carbon fiber is the strongest composite we offer and is lighter in weight than aluminum.

Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Round Tubes

Carbon fiber is the strongest composite we offer and is lighter in weight than aluminum.

Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Half Rounds

Carbon fiber is the strongest composite we offer and is lighter in weight than aluminum.

Ultra-Strength Lightweight Carbon Fiber Square Tubes

Carbon fiber is the strongest composite we offer and is lighter in weight than aluminum.

Telescoping Ultra-Strength Lightweight
Carbon Fiber Hexagonal Tubes

These tubes are stiff and have tensile strength comparable to aluminum—but are still lightweight—and can be placed inside one another to create an adjustable-length tube that resists twisting.

Rigid Ultra-Strength Lightweight
Carbon Fiber Round Tubes

Over twice as stiff as aluminum, these high modulus carbon fiber tubes resist bending. They’re often used in instrumentation and other precision applications that require a rigid, high-strength, lightweight material.

Easy-to-Machine Hard Fiber Rods

Hard fiber is the easiest composite to machine, making it good for creating custom parts. Also known as vulcanized fiber.

Carbon Fiber Threaded Rods

Ultra-High-Temperature Carbon Fiber Threaded Rods

Unlike metal rods, these threaded rods will not warp at extreme temperatures, making them ideal for heat treating and furnace fixtures.

Metric Ultra-High-Temperature
Carbon Fiber Threaded Rods

Unlike metal rods, these metric threaded rods will not warp at extreme temperatures, making them ideal for heat treating and furnace fixtures.
