Fiberglass Carbon Hybrid Sleeving
Fiberglass Carbon Hybrid Sleeving is a high-performance braided composite sleeve manufactured from a combination of carbon fiber and fiberglass yarns. This hybrid construction integrates the stiffness and structural strength of carbon fiber with the impact resistance and durability of fiberglass. The braided tubular structure allows radial expansion, making it easy to install over tubes, shafts, and structural cores before resin infusion or composite curing. Once combined with compatible resin systems such as epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester, the sleeve forms a lightweight yet mechanically stable reinforcement layer. Compared to pure carbon fiber sleeve, fiberglass carbon hybrid sleeving offers improved resistance to cracking and impact damage while maintaining excellent stiffness-to-weight performance. It is widely used in automotive components, industrial rollers, composite drive shafts, marine structures, and sporting equipment manufacturing. Custom diameters, braid angles, and carbon-to-glass fiber ratios are available to meet specific engineering requirements.
