Carbon Fiber Fabric 1K – 50 GSM

Ultra-Lightweight 1K Carbon Fiber Fabric for Precision & Cosmetic Composite Applications

Carbon Fiber Fabric 1K – 50 GSM is an ultra-lightweight woven reinforcement material manufactured from 1,000-filament (1K) carbon fiber tows, designed for applications where minimal weight, fine surface finish, and precise fiber control are critical.

With an areal weight of just 50 GSM, this fabric offers exceptional drapability, smooth appearance, and excellent resin wet-out, making it ideal for cosmetic carbon layers, thin laminates, electronic components, and aerospace interiors.

Key Performance Advantages

  • Tow Size: 1K (1,000 filaments per tow)
  • Ultra-Lightweight Fabric – Only 50 GSM
  • Fine Weave for Smooth Cosmetic Finish
  • Excellent Drapability for Complex Shapes
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
  • Uniform Fiber Distribution
  • Minimal Print-Through in Laminates
  • Electrically Conductive (EMI Shielding Capable)

The very low fabric weight allows precise laminate thickness control and is ideal as a cosmetic surface layer.

Fabric Construction Details

  • Fiber Type: PAN-based Carbon Fiber
  • Tow Size: 1K
  • Weave Style: Plain Weave (standard)
  • Fiber Orientation: Bidirectional (0° / 90°)
  • Finish / Sizing: Epoxy-compatible (others on request)

This ultra-fine fabric conforms easily to sharp corners and intricate mold details.
