For lightweight aerodynamic parts, this plain weave carbon fiber features a 3k tow (3000 fillaments per fiber) and is a commonly selected fabric style, delivering uniform strength in both horizontal and vertical directions.The plain weave fabric is not only a good looking cosmetic fabric but also serves very well as structural support for composite structures and designs.
Along with the 2×2 twill, it is one of the most common carbon fibre materials in the world.
Tips
- Ideal for lightweight parts used in aerospace applications.
- To maximize strength properties, use with an epoxy, like our Apro for structural and cosmetic, or Ampreg 31 for structural applications
- For added conformability, lay up the fabric at a 45-degree bias inside molds
