1K 50gsm Carbon Fiber Fabric
Ultra-Lightweight 1K Carbon Fiber Fabric 50gsm for Cosmetic Laminates, RC Models & Precision Composite Reinforcement
1K 50gsm Carbon Fiber Fabric is an ultra-lightweight woven carbon reinforcement cloth manufactured from 1,000 filament (1K) carbon fiber tows, designed for applications requiring minimal weight, excellent surface appearance, and high precision laminate finishing.
With an areal weight of only 50gsm, this carbon fiber fabric is ideal for:
- cosmetic carbon fiber top layers
- lightweight composite skins
- RC model parts and hobby composites
- UAV/drone shells and covers
- electronics casings and decorative laminates
Compared to heavier carbon fabrics, 50gsm 1K carbon cloth provides a finer weave appearance and easier laminate control when only a thin reinforcement layer is needed.
Key Features & Benefits
- Tow Size: 1K (fine tow for premium appearance)
- Areal Weight: 50gsm (ultra-lightweight carbon cloth)
- Smooth and fine weave surface finish for visible carbon parts
- Ideal for cosmetic surface layers and lightweight laminates
- Easy wet-out with epoxy resin
- Excellent conformity on small curves and detailed molds
- Helps achieve thin laminates with minimal added weight
- Compatible with epoxy, vinyl ester & polyester resins
- Suitable for hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, infusion & prepreg
What is 50gsm Carbon Fiber Fabric Used For?
50gsm carbon fiber fabric is mainly used when manufacturers need:
- very light reinforcement
- thin cosmetic laminates
- smooth carbon surface finish
- minimal resin consumption
It is especially popular in cosmetic laminates and precision composite manufacturing, where thicker fabrics are not required.
