Carbon Fiber Fabric 1K – 120 GSM
Lightweight to Midweight 1K Carbon Fiber Fabric for Structural & High-Performance Composites
Carbon Fiber Fabric 1K – 120 GSM is a premium woven reinforcement material manufactured from 1,000-filament (1K) carbon fiber tows, designed to deliver higher mechanical strength while retaining good drapability and a fine surface finish.
With an areal weight of 120 GSM, this fabric provides greater structural contribution compared to lighter 1K fabrics (50–100 GSM), making it ideal for load-bearing composite laminates, performance components, and precision structures where strength, control, and appearance are all important.
Key Performance Advantages
- Tow Size: 1K (1,000 filaments per tow)
- Areal Weight: 120 GSM
- Higher Strength & Laminate Stability
- Fine Weave with Smooth Surface Finish
- Balanced Strength-to-Weight Ratio
- Good Drapability for Complex Shapes
- Uniform Fiber Distribution & Resin Wet-Out
- Excellent Fatigue & Chemical Resistance
- Electrically Conductive (EMI Shielding Capable)
- Increased stiffness and durability with excellent processing characteristics
Fabric Construction Options
- Weave Styles:
- Plain Weave (standard)
- Twill Weave (optional)
- Satin Weave (on request)
- Fiber Orientation: Bidirectional (0° / 90°)
- Finish / Sizing: Epoxy-compatible (custom sizings available)
This flexibility allows the fabric to be used for both structural plies and cosmetic outer layers.
