Hexagonal real carbon fiber fabric 240 g/m² 3K

Balanced fabrics with values of mechanical strength similar to those with plain weave.

The twill weave gives the fabric greater adaptability; therefore, they are suitable for more complex shapes, such as fairings and shells in the automotive sector, sports equipment, bicycle parts, skating shoes, to faithfully produce a fender or motorcycle fairing in polyester or epoxy resin.

Carbon fiber is a filament structure, very thin, made of carbon, used to create a wide variety of materials called composites, as the fibers are "composed," that is, joined together with a matrix, usually resin whose function is to keep the strong fibers "in place" (so that they maintain the correct orientation in absorbing stresses), to protect the fibers and also to maintain the shape of the composite product.

For the creation of composite structures, carbon fibers are first woven together to form real carbon fabric sheets and then, once laid, they are immersed in the matrix.

Among its features stand out high mechanical strength, low density, thermal insulation capacity, resistance to temperature variations and chemical agents, and good fire-retardant properties.

On the other hand, the material is non-homogeneous and often shows marked anisotropy.

We recommend impregnating carbon fiber fabrics exclusively with epoxy matrix resins (all our fabrics are compatible with the epoxies available in our stores) to achieve the maximum possible aesthetic and structural performance.
