We conceived these ranges of tubing at the time many industries and in particular the marine industry was adopting carbon and composite tubes for inclusion in their products for the first time.
At the time there was no easy way of assessing or even knowing what was available. In publishing inertia, stiffness and weight data the process of selection was made possible. For many years now both the full E Glass and the Carbon/E Glass ranges have provided a cost effective solution where light weight, stiffness and non-corrosive properties are required.
It was important to us that the tubes were TELESCOPIC to enable easy joining of tubes or for applications where long extendable lengths were required.
Multi-purpose composite tubing is not intended to replace the need for custom tubing. Paragon has been successful in the design and development of a myriad of different tubes of varying size, strength, stiffness and surface finishes. Paragon continues to respond to the specific requirements of its customers.
