1K 100 GSM Carbon Fiber Fabric – Plain Weave
Lightweight Plain Weave 1K Carbon Fiber Fabric for Structural & Cosmetic Composites
1K 100 GSM Carbon Fiber Fabric – Plain Weave is a high-quality woven reinforcement material manufactured from 1,000-filament (1K) carbon fiber tows, interlaced in a balanced plain weave (1×1) construction.
With an areal weight of 100 GSM, this fabric offers an excellent balance of lightweight performance, mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and refined surface finish, making it suitable for both structural laminates and visible carbon fiber components.
The plain weave structure ensures uniform strength in warp and weft directions, minimal fabric distortion, and consistent laminate thickness.
Key Performance Advantages
- Tow Size: 1K (1,000 filaments per tow)
- Areal Weight: 100 GSM
- Plain Weave (1×1) Construction
- Balanced Bidirectional Strength (0° / 90°)
- Excellent Dimensional Stability
- Smooth & Uniform Carbon Fiber Appearance
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
- Easy Handling & Lay-Up
- Electrically Conductive (EMI Shielding Capable)
Compared to lighter fabrics, the 100 GSM construction provides better structural contribution and improved handling while maintaining a fine weave cosmetic finish.
