1K Carbon Fiber Tape

Lightweight 1K Carbon Fiber Tape for Composite Reinforcement, Wrapping & Structural Strengthening

1K Carbon Fiber Tape is a high-performance reinforcement tape manufactured from 1,000 filament (1K) carbon fiber tows, designed for lightweight structural reinforcement and precision composite applications.

This tape offers excellent tensile strength and stiffness with minimal added weight, making it ideal for wrapping, reinforcing edges, strengthening joints, and building directional composite laminates. Compared to carbon fiber fabric, carbon tape provides focused reinforcement in specific areas, improving strength exactly where needed.

1K carbon tape is widely used in aerospace components, UAV/drone structures, RC models, sporting goods, automotive composite parts, marine reinforcement, and industrial strengthening applications.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Tow Size: 1K (fine tow for precision reinforcement)
  • Product Type: Carbon Fiber Tape / Woven Tape
  • Lightweight & high strength-to-weight ratio
  • Ideal for edge reinforcement and joint strengthening
  • Excellent flexibility for wrapping and conforming
  • Uniform weave for smooth laminate finish
  • Excellent resin wet-out & bonding
  • Compatible with epoxy, vinyl ester & polyester resins
  • Suitable for hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, infusion & prepreg
  • Available in multiple widths for OEM requirements

What is Carbon Fiber Tape Used For?

Carbon fiber tape is used when reinforcement is required in specific areas such as:

  • Edges, corners, and joints
  • Wrapping tubes and rods
  • Strengthening composite beams and panels
  • Creating directional reinforcement strips
  • Improving tensile strength along a load path

It is especially popular in precision composite lay-ups where fabric reinforcement is not required across the full surface.

FAQ’s

It is used for reinforcing edges, corners, joints, tubes, and load-bearing strips in composite laminates.

Tape provides stronger reinforcement in a narrow area along the load direction, while fabric reinforces across a full surface.

Epoxy resin is recommended for maximum strength and bonding performance.

Yes. It wets out well and is suitable for infusion and vacuum bagging.
