1.0mm 3K Carbon Fiber Hybrid Winding SUP Paddle Shaft

carbon fiber / glass fiber / carbon glass hybrid Winding SUP Paddle Shaft

There are 3 kinds of SUP paddle shaft which are made by different materials: carbon, glass and carbon glass hybrid. All shafts are made by winding proesss to ensure optimum control of fiber preload and resin distribution throughout the infiltration (avoiding defects caused by air bubbles that may be produced between the layers). All paddle shafts can be precisely controlled to match all the blades and handles you can design. The high-grade shaft has a high carbon fiber content to reduce the weight of the entire shaft and significantly improve the reaction speed and overall performance.

SUP Paddle Shaft Parameter Table

There are 2 kinds of winding process as below:

1) Dry winding

The main raw material for making carbon fiber tubes by dry winding is carbon fiber prepreg tow. The raw material supplier will accurately control the resin content of the tow when making the prepreg tow, so the quality stability of the manufactured product is relatively easy control. This production method has high efficiency, and the production environment is clean and hygienic, but the raw material price is higher and the storage conditions are higher.

2) Wet winding

This method is mainly to soak the carbon fiber filament tow in the resin first, then wind the soaked tow continuously on a stainless-steel core mold through the control of tension to make a core mold tube.

This method is the mainstream way of making high-performance carbon fiber tubes. The main advantages are: economical process, which can effectively reduce production costs; the internal sealing effect of the product is good, the internal air is extruded, and the porosity of the product is greatly reduced; the fiber layout is balanced Smooth; resin lubricated, can reduce carbon fiber wear during production; production speed is fast. The disadvantages are: there is a certain waste of resin raw materials; the accuracy of the resin content is difficult to control accurately; the environmental friendliness is low.
