Applications

This material is widely used in high-performance vehicles, aircraft parts, wind generator blades & gears, and other demanding mechanical applications. Because of it's rigidity & strength, resistance to stretching, and lightweight properties (twice as light as aluminium), it is also widely used in the manufacture & repair of sporting equipment such as fishing rods, bicycles, etc.

2/2 twill weave fabric at the 200gsm weight is the most commonly used carbon cloth of all. Plain weave carbon fibre fabric is the second most commonly used type of carbon cloth. Instead of having the distinctive diagonal pattern of 2/2 twill, plain weave is woven over-one-under-one leaving it with a simple grid pattern appearance.

Plain weave might be selected over 2/2 twill for cosmetic reasons (matching fabric already used on a vehicle for example) or because its tighter weave makes it easier to handle without distorting it. If you need the fabric to 'drape' very easily into and over curved shapes then you might want to consider 2/2 twill instead which is better suited to such shapes.

It is suitable for use in wet-lay, vacuum bagging and resin infusion manufacture as well as for use as a single surface layer where parts are being made to look like carbon fibre (skinning).

A4 size is ideal for smaller projects, when quantities sold by the linear metre are surplus to requirements.
