Xinbo Composites offers a wide range of carbon fiber tubes for many different applications. Our tubes are manufactured by Toray carbon fiber prepreg, Toray Japan, with 15 years experience, high-end facilities, and precision production process, we provide good quality carbon fiber tubes to customers worldwide. If you do not see what you need, contact us to discuss manufacturing tubes to your custom specifications.
Roll-wrapped technology produces carbon fiber tubes are constructed using multiple wraps of twill and/or unidirectional fabrics. Rolled tubes are ideal for applications that require the highest bending stiffness and lowest weight, such as automation robotics, telescoping poles, carbon fiber rollers, and UAV components, etc. Additionally, the longer length versions of these tubes have options for high and ultra high modulus carbon fiber, as well as choices for the outer surface options, such as natural 3k and UD surface, polished matte, glossy, colored carbon fiber and Kevlar hybrid, kevlar surface.
Braided carbon fiber tubes are comprised of carbon fiber braid and unidirectional fabrics. They offer excellent torsional characteristics, as well as crush strength, and are ideal for high torque applications. These carbon tubes are available in round, rectangular, and square and can be axially optimized or made with higher modulus carbon fibers for increased bending stiffness. The standard for these tubes is our proprietary natural surface finish, showing a wet shiny appearance. Many can also be cello-wrapped for a glossier look or even peel ply texture finish for improved bonding.

Roll wrapped tube is manufactured using multiple layers of prepreg carbon fiber materials. Generally, each layer is about 0.13~0.25 mm thickness which means that a tube with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm will typically be composed of 6-12 individual layers of carbon fiber. The number of layers allows us to vary the orientation of the fibers throughout the thickness, creating a highest performance product according to per client 's requirement.
Roll Wrapped Process:
1. Wrapped onto a mandrel in multiple layers and angles
2. Externally pressurized with transparant PP tape
3. Heat cured to solidify
4. After curing, the solid composite is demoulded from the mandrel as a tube

0° Fibers maximize bending stiffness.
90° Fibers maximize crushing stiffness and generally assist in overall tube strength.
45° Fibers maximize torsional stiffness.
Unlike metals which have similar properties in all directions, the properties of composites are varying, depending on the orientation of the fibers in each layer.
1. Clear Grain and Smooth Surface
2. High Strength, Light Weight
3. Anti-Corrosion
4. Low Thermal Expansivity
5. Low Density
6. Good Fatigue Resistance
7. Multiple Axial Angles can be designed to reach the best performance
