Solid flat carbon rods are made up of pultruded linear carbon fibers (or carbon fibres). Solid flat carbon rods bend easily on the wider side and are ridged on the narrow side. Solid flat carbon rods, also known as flat graphite bars, are useful for making lightweight battens. It is also popular as structural supporting in the wings and fuselages of RC planes and gliders. Due to the slight variations in production, weight may fluctuate about .2gm + or -. Made in the USA.
