Twill weave carbon fiber cloth is likely the most
recognizable carbon fiber weave in the industry. It is used in many cosmetic
and decorative applications, but also has great functionality. It has both formability and stability. As the
2x2 name implies, each tow will pass over 2 tows then under two tows.
Carbon fiber is preferred as it has the highest tensile
strength of all reinforcing materials. The dry 12K 2x2 Twill Weave Fabric gives
the classic carbon fiber look and conforms to complex parts better than plain
weave.
It boasts a combined strength and stiffness-to-weight that
is unmatched in the composites industry. In fact, when looking at strength to
weight comparisons, carbon fiber outperforms most traditional building
materials.
Carbon fiber can be found everywhere from auto racing to
aerospace. Its unmatched strength and weight, along with its modern cosmetics,
have made it a widespread favorite in today's composite industry. Highly
desirable for modern composite parts in the aerospace, auto, marine, and
sporting goods industries.
This is a first quality commercial grade 12K carbon fiber fabric
and is made in the USA. 12K means each tow/bundle is constructed of 12,000
filaments. The bundles are woven together to form the fabric, which makes it a
strong, yet lightweight material.

When purchasing multiple quantities of the same fabric you
will receive one continuous length of that material. It will be rolled, covered
in plastic, and shipped in a cardboard tube to keep the fabric in its first
quality condition.
