Product Information
- Carbon fiber is preferred as it has the highest tensile strength of all reinforcing materials. The dry 3K 2x2 Twill Weave Fabric gives the traditional carbon fiber look and offers better drapability. Because of the weave and filaments per fiber the 3K twill weave offers a little more strength when compared to the tighter plain weave.
- 2x2 Twill is likely the most recognizable carbon fiber weave in the industry. It is used in many cosmetic and decorative applications, but also has great functionality, it has both moderate formability and moderate stability. As the 2x2 name implies, each tow will pass over 2 tows then under two tows.
- It boasts a combined strength- and stiffness-to-weight that is unmatched in the composites industry. In fact, when looking at strength to weight comparisons, carbon fiber outperforms most traditional building materials.
- This is a first quality 3K cloth Made in the USA. 3K means it’s a fabric that has 3000 carbon filaments in each tow or bundle. The bundles are woven together to form the fabric, which makes it a strong, yet lightweight material.
- Carbon fiber can be found everywhere from auto racing to aerospace. Its unmatched strength for light weight, along with modern cosmetics, have made it a widespread favorite in today's composite industry. Highly desirable for modern composite parts in the aerospace, auto, marine, and sporting goods industries.
