Often used to make railings, edge covers, and other structural framing parts, these carbon fiber U-channels add stiffness and strength to applications without adding a lot of weight. They’re similar in strength to 6061 aluminum yet lighter in weight. With a plain weave and 0°/90° construction layup, all are easy to machine. They won’t splinter when cut.

Lighter than aluminum while remaining rigid, these angles are often used as brackets in structural framing, machinery, and robotics. Known for its use in the aerospace industry, carbon fiber offers a good balance of weight and strength. These angles reduce wear and stress on motorized parts because they are lightweight, extending the life of machinery.

They are made from layers of woven fabric that prevent fibers from splintering when cut. This checked carbon fiber is easy to machine and has a classic carbon fiber-look.

Even when exposed for as long as 2 minutes to temperatures up to 2600° F, these sheets, made of a carbon fiber blend, won't ignite or melt. They also resist molten metal spatter. This fabric meets ASTM standards for materials.

Also known as pancake welding helmets, these helmets have a flat face so you can get close to your welds. They’re often used when welding pipes, but are also useful where a standard welding helmet would be too bulky. These helmets extend further on one side than a standard welding helmet does for increased face protection from UV light, sparks, and spatter. A balsa wood box mounted inside the helmet fits around your face and eyes to block all light, even when working outdoors. Sand the box for a customizable fit. Designed for all-day comfort, they’re made of lightweight carbon fiber and have an open back for plenty of airflow.

These helmets have a large viewing area for a clear view of your workspace. The instant you start to weld, the lens darkens. Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.

Choose a helmet based on which hand you use to hold your torch—they’re designed to protect the side opposite your welding hand, where sparks are most likely to fly. This means that left-hand helmets extend further on the right while right-hand helmets extend further on the left.

Lightweight yet strong and durable, carbon fiber hard hats protect your head and you can wear them all day. They resist heat better than HDPE hard hats, making them a good choice for foundries, refineries, and other environments with high ambient heat. These hard hats are rated Type I to protect against blows to the top of the head only. They're also designated as Class C, which means they're not tested for electrical protection. For a snug fit, turn a knob on the back of the helmet to tighten suspension. A sweatband prevents perspiration from getting into your eyes, and mounting slots allow for attachments like face shields and earmuffs.
