1K 80gsm Carbon Fiber Fabric Satin Weave
Lightweight 1K 80gsm Satin Weave Carbon Fiber Fabric for Ultra-Smooth Finish & Premium Visible Carbon Laminates
1K 80gsm Carbon Fiber Fabric Satin Weave is a lightweight premium carbon reinforcement cloth manufactured from 1,000 filament (1K) carbon fiber tows, woven in a satin weave structure (commonly 4HS / 5HS / 8HS options).
With an areal weight of 80gsm, this fabric is designed for applications requiring:
- Very smooth cosmetic surface finish
- Excellent drapability for curved molds
- Lightweight reinforcement for thin laminates
- Premium visible carbon appearance
Compared to plain weave and twill weave fabrics, 1K satin weave carbon fabric offers superior flexibility and a smoother laminate finish, making it ideal for luxury visible carbon fiber parts, including automotive interior trims, motorsport cosmetic panels, drone/UAV shells, consumer electronics covers, and decorative composite laminate sheets.
