Atlas Fibre offers a wide selection of composite tubes—ready for fabrication or in-house machining. Our Illinois facility proudly hosts North America’s largest in-stock inventory, providing both custom and standard composite tube options to meet your project needs.
Atlas Fibre supplies two different types of highly durable composite tubes, filament wound and convolute wound.
Filament Wound Composite Tubes: Filament winding is a precise method where individual filaments are run through a resin bath and wound onto a mandrel. By adjusting the wind angle, we can fine-tune the strength characteristics of our filament wound composite tubes. Fully cured upon production, these tubes are ready for fabrication and deliver exceptional performance.
Convolute Wound Composite Tubes: In contrast, our convolute wound composite tubes are created by wrapping prepreg material around a mandrel and then curing. The resin content is pre-mixed during the prepreg process, providing more material options than filament winding. While these tubes allow for larger diameters, they have a maximum length limitation compared to filament wound tubes.

Technical Project Support
Selecting the ideal composite tubes involves understanding both the material properties and the manufacturing process. Consider the following:
Material Specifications: Each composite tube material varies in strength, insulation, and machinability. Our detailed material data sheets help you compare the properties of paper phenolic and canvas phenolic composite tubes.
Tube Size and Application: The production method influences the final tube dimensions. Filament wound composite tubes can be manufactured in longer lengths but are typically narrower, while convolute wound composite tubes offer larger diameters but shorter lengths.
