Carbon Fiber Fabric 1K – 120 GSM Plain Weave
Lightweight Plain Weave 1K Carbon Fiber Fabric for Structural & Precision Composites
Carbon Fiber Fabric 1K – 120 GSM Plain Weave is a high-performance woven reinforcement material manufactured from 1,000-filament (1K) carbon fiber tows, interlaced in a balanced plain weave (1×1) construction.
With an areal weight of 120 GSM, this fabric offers higher structural strength and laminate stability while maintaining the fine texture, dimensional control, and clean surface finish associated with 1K carbon fabrics.
The plain weave structure provides uniform strength in both warp and weft directions, making it ideal for load-bearing composite laminates and precision components.
