6K Carbon Fibre Sleeve (Ø40 mm)
At a glance
- Medium-weight carbon fibre sleeve
- For tubular objects
- Diameter: 5 metres
This carbon fibre sleeve is made from medium-weight 6K carbon yarn and has a diameter of 40 mm. The carbon fibre sleeve easily conforms to tubular products and is ideal for reinforcing or repairing hockey sticks, padel rackets, paddles, oars, bicycle frames, and other composite applications.
When stretched, the sleeve fits tightly to the surface and can be easily impregnated with epoxy resin, creating a strong, stiff, and durable reinforcement using minimal material.

Fibre type affects a composite's strength, stiffness, toughness and weight. Common reinforcement fibres include:
- Glass fibre: a cost-effective choice used widely in polyester and epoxy laminates.
- Carbon fibre: very stiff and lightweight, suitable for parts that need to be light and hold their shape.
- Aramid: a tough fibre with good resistance to certain impacts and tearing, but often harder to cut neatly and sand.
Final properties also depend on fibre orientation, fabric type, resin content and laminate quality.
