Carbon Fiber/Colored Kevlar Dogbone (I/H) Weave
Description
Carbon Fiber / Colored Kevlar® Hybrid – 60″/152cm 50"/127cm Wide
This premium hybrid pairs 3K carbon fiber with 1500d colored aramid (Kevlar®) in a distinctive Dogbone pattern (also known as I-Weave / H-Weave). The result is a striking, technical aesthetic with real composite performance—light weight, crisp pattern definition, and enhanced impact/abrasion resistance from the aramid. Available colors: Red and Yellow.
Why Builders Choose It
- Dogbone (I-Weave / H-Weave) pattern delivers a unique technical look that stands out from standard twill.
- 3K carbon fiber provides stiffness and the classic carbon depth/contrast.
- Dyed Kevlar® adds color, toughness, and superior impact/abrasion resistance.
- 60″ width (152 cm) 50" (127cm) for efficient coverage and fewer seams on wide panels.
- Versatile in wet lay-up, vacuum bagging, infusion, RTM; suitable for cosmetic skins and light structural skins.
Typical Applications
- Automotive & motorsport interior trim, dash/console skins, door cards, overlays
- Exterior cosmetic panels, accent parts, fairings, cowlings
- Marine, UAV/FPV, robotics, consumer & sporting goods
- Any project where a carbon fiber + colored aramid look and light functional performance are desired
Processing & Appearance Notes
- Colors can darken or shift when resin is introduced—make a small test panel to confirm appearance.
- Use a water-clear, UV-stable epoxy, then finish with a UV-resistant clear coat for brightness and gloss retention.
- Cut with sharp shears or a rotary cutter; edge-seal if needed to minimize fraying before bagging.
- For reinforcement skins, orient plies to achieve balanced properties across the part.
