Product Overview
Fiberglass Carbon Hybrid Sleeving is a braided tubular composite reinforcement combining carbon fiber and fiberglass yarns. The hybrid braid balances the stiffness and structural strength of carbon fiber with the impact resistance and cost-efficiency of fiberglass. The sleeve expands radially for installation over tubes, shafts and structural cores prior to resin infusion or curing, producing a lightweight, mechanically stable reinforcement once cured with compatible resins (epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester).

Key Features

• High tensile strength
• Improved impact resistance
• Enhanced fatigue durability
• Lightweight composite reinforcement
• Cost-effective alternative to pure carbon sleeves

What Is Fiberglass Carbon Hybrid Sleeving?
It is a tubular braided textile used to reinforce composite structures. By blending carbon and glass fibers in a single braid, the sleeve reduces brittleness compared with pure carbon sleeves while maintaining high stiffness. The braided design permits radial expansion for wrapping around tubes, shafts, pipes and structural cores before resin infusion or curing.

Key Technical Properties

• Fiber composition: Carbon fiber + Fiberglass
