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.
