Carbon Fibre Plain Weave Tape 240gsm — 100mm Structural Strip

Structural performance. Ready to laminate.

Carbon fibre plain weave tape 240gsm at 100mm wide is a purpose-cut structural strip for applications where a full-width fabric is too broad and a narrow unidirectional strip isn’t enough. At 240gsm and 3K fibre, this carbon fibre tape delivers balanced 0°/90° strength in a clean, workable format that wets out easily with any thermosetting resin system. Furthermore, the 100mm width suits structural reinforcement strips, frame overlaps, and laminate build-up in a single, consistent pass.

Why 100mm Tape Makes Structural Sense

Full-width carbon fabric is the right call for large panel work. However, for targeted structural reinforcement — stiffening a specific zone, overlapping a join, or adding a strip to a high-load area — cutting down full fabric wastes material and introduces raw edges that fray and handle poorly.

A purpose-cut 100mm tape solves that problem directly. Consequently, you get a clean, consistent width with no waste and no fraying — ready to wet out and apply exactly where the load demands it.

Moreover, because the weave is plain and the fibre count is 3K, the tape conforms reasonably well to gentle curves and compound surfaces. As a result, it suits a wider range of structural strip applications than a heavier or stiffer tape would allow.

Key Performance Advantages

• Purpose-cut 100mm width — no waste, no fraying, consistent width from metre to metre
• Plain weave 3K construction — balanced 0°/90° strength in both warp and fill directions
• 240gsm areal weight — practical structural weight that wets out cleanly without excess resin uptake
• Wide resin compatibility — works with epoxy, polyester, vinyl ester, and phenolic systems
• Clean strip format — applies directly to structural zones without cutting or trimming full fabric
• Lightweight — adds structural performance without meaningful mass penalty
• Sold per linear metre — order exactly what the job requires with no minimum

Typical Applications

This tape suits any application where targeted structural reinforcement matters more than full-panel coverage. In particular, it performs consistently across a wide range of industries and build types:

• Structural Reinforcement Strips — applied over high-load zones, stress concentration areas, and structural joins on composite parts
• Frame & Joint Overlaps — used to bridge and reinforce joins on carbon and fibreglass frames in marine, automotive, and engineering builds
• Tube Wrapping — wrapped around carbon or fibreglass tube ends and joints to add hoop strength and impact resistance
• Marine — hull reinforcement strips, keel joins, and structural overlaps on performance and racing craft
• Automotive & Motorsport — chassis reinforcement strips, roll cage overlaps, and structural panel stiffeners in custom and competition builds
• Drones & UAV Frames — arm reinforcement, motor mount overlaps, and structural joins on carbon airframes
• Repair & Patch Work — structural repair strips on damaged composite parts where a full fabric layup is impractical
• Engineering & Prototyping — targeted structural reinforcement on prototype assemblies and test rigs
