Composite Fiber Aramid Honeycomb Panels
- Face Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -100° to 250° F
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: No
With an aramid honeycomb core sandwiched between carbon fiber or fiberglass for rigidity, these panels are strong, but lightweight, and won’t conduct heat. Often used as wall panels in structural and insulating applications, they’re a lightweight alternative to solid composite and aluminum honeycomb panels.
Carbon-fiber-faced panels are stronger and more rigid than fiberglass-faced panels, so they resist deforming from bending, twisting, or buckling. They will, however, splinter from high-impact blows. These panels are lighter than fiberglass-faced panels. However, they conduct electricity, so don’t use them around electrical components.
Fiberglass-faced panels are often used around electrical components because they are good electrical insulators. They resist cracks from bumps and hits better than carbon-fiber-faced panels, but are not as strong or lightweight.

Impact-Resistant Ultra-Strength Carbon Fiber Sheets with Kevlar Core
- Color: Black
- Temperature Range: -100° to 190° F
- Tensile Strength: 177,000 psi (Excellent)
- Impact Strength: Not Rated
- Hardness: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: No
Often used to build frames and structures, these lightweight sheets combine the strength and stiffness of carbon fiber with the impact resistance of Kevlar. With carbon fiber on the outer layers, these sheets are extremely difficult to bend—they’re nearly as stiff as pure carbon fiber. The carbon fiber layers also provide good strength under tension, comparable to 6061 aluminum. Sandwiched between the carbon fiber layers of these sheets is a Kevlar core. Known for its toughness, the Kevlar core helps prevent sheets from failing under a variety of stresses, such as punctures, cuts, impact, and wear. The Kevlar core also has a lower density than carbon fiber, making these sheets even lighter than sheets made from carbon fiber alone.
Sheets with 0.09 in. thickness have thicker layers of carbon fiber, making them stiffer than those with 0.06 in. thickness.
