Plain weave carbon fiber fabric
Model: MAX-BPCF
Plain weave carbon fiber fabric, also known as 1×1 weave, is a fundamental material in composite construction.It is woven from high quality carbon fiber yarn 1k , 3k, 6k and 12k. The twill and plain weave are the most popular weave patterns. They provide superior tensile strength in both 0/90 directions. The plain weave is more shape stable compared with the twill one. These fabrics are not just good looking, but also with superior mechanical properties, like high strength, modulus, rigid, light weight, anti-corrosion, etc. For these properties, the carbon fiber fabric is desirable alternative to traditional materials, now the carbon fiber fabric is widely used in automotive, marine, boat building, racing, sports tools, even structural strengthening of concrete buildings.
The carbon fiber fabric can be processed in many ways, such as wet-layup, vacuum infusion. It can be wrapped on products to make it glorious and tough. We also supply carbon fiber prepreg, which is easier to handle than dry carbon fiber fabric, because it’s not easy to come apart and better resin control.
Features
- Signature aesthetics
- High strength to weight ratio
- High modulus for superior rigidity
- Anti-fatigue
- Excellent Drapability: Plain weave offers good flexibility, allowing it to conform well to complex shapes and contours. This makes it suitable for applications requiring intricate molding or wrapping.
- Balanced Strength: The simple over-under weave pattern distributes strength evenly in both the warp (lengthwise) and weft (widthwise) directions of the fabric. This provides predictable and uniform performance.
- Dimensional Stability: The grid-like structure of plain weave helps the fabric maintain its shape and size during handling, layup, and the curing process. This allows for more precise part creation.
- Easy to Cut: The straight weave pattern makes plain weave fabric easier to cut precisely compared to other weave styles like twill.
Disadvantages:
Lower Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Compared to twill weave, plain weave utilizes a shorter fiber path due to the straight up-and-down structure. This can result in a slightly lower strength-to-weight ratio for applications demanding maximum strength with minimal weight.Less Visually Appealing: The plain weave pattern has a simpler, checkerboard-like appearance, which might not be as aesthetically pleasing for applications where the final look matters.
Packing
100meter per roll, the biggest width 150cm, one roll for each carton, then packed in pallet, wrapped with plastic film.
Transportation
For small order, we recommend shipment by DHL and FedEx. For bigger order, more than 4rolls, we recommend air freight. Because of carbon fiber is light weight, air freight is more preferable than sea shipment. We sell globally, please don’t hesitate to contact us for product and price details.
