Carbon Fiber Fabric 1K – 120 GSM Twill Weave
Lightweight Twill Weave 1K Carbon Fiber Fabric for Structural & High-Aesthetic Composites
Carbon Fiber Fabric 1K – 120 GSM Twill Weave is a premium woven reinforcement material manufactured from 1,000-filament (1K) carbon fiber tows, interlaced in a twill weave pattern (typically 2×2).
With an areal weight of 120 GSM, this fabric offers a balanced combination of structural strength, excellent drapability, and a smooth diagonal carbon appearance.
The twill weave construction improves fabric flexibility and mold conformity compared to plain weave, especially on curved and complex geometries.
