Carbon Fiber Fabric 6K 360gsm Plain Weave

Carbon Fiber Fabric 6K 360gsm Plain Weave

Carbon Fiber Fabric 6K – 360 GSM Plain Weave

Heavyweight 6K Plain Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric for High-Strength Structural Composite Laminates

Carbon Fiber Fabric 6K – 360 GSM Plain Weave is a heavy-duty woven reinforcement material produced from 6,000-filament (6K) carbon fiber tows, interlaced in a balanced plain weave (1×1) construction for excellent stability and controlled fiber alignment.

With an areal weight of 360 GSM, this fabric is designed for high-strength structural composite laminates where higher thickness build-up, superior stiffness, and strong load-bearing capability are required. The plain weave architecture provides uniform bidirectional reinforcement (0°/90°), making it ideal for structural panels, marine laminates, industrial composite parts, and composite tooling.

Key Performance Advantages

  • Tow Size: 6K (6,000 filaments per tow)
  • Areal Weight: 360 GSM
  • Plain Weave (1×1) Balanced Construction
  • Uniform Bidirectional Strength (0° / 90°)
  • High Tensile Strength & Stiffness
  • Excellent Dimensional Stability & Fiber Control
  • Efficient Laminate Build-Up (Reduced Ply Count)
  • Stable Handling for Large Parts & Production Use
  • Good Resin Wet-Out & Processing Stability
  • Electrically Conductive (EMI Shielding Capable)

This 360 GSM fabric enables manufacturers to achieve stronger, thicker laminates faster, improving productivity and cost efficiency.

Fabric Construction Details

  • Fiber Type: PAN-based Carbon Fiber
  • Tow Size: 6K
  • Weave Style: Plain Weave (1×1)
  • Fiber Orientation: Bidirectional (Warp & Weft)
  • Finish / Sizing: Epoxy-compatible (custom sizing available)

Plain weave fabric provides maximum stability and is best suited for flat and moderately contoured composite structures.
