Carbon Fiber/Colored Kevlar 2x2 Twill - 222gsm High Density
Description
Carbon Fiber / Aramid (Kevlar®) Hybrid – 2×2 Twill – 50 in (127 cm) – High Density – USA Woven
This premium hybrid pairs aerospace-grade Hexcel AS4 3K carbon fiber with colored aramid (Kevlar®) to deliver a laminate that is both stiff and impact-resistant, with the high-end cosmetic look found on OEM performance components. The 15×15 pic high-density weave produces a tight surface with minimal pinholes and excellent drape, while the classic 2×2 twill makes a show-quality finish under clear coat.
Choose from striking aramid colorways—Red, Yellow, Blue, and Orange—to create attention-grabbing parts that stand out while gaining real reinforcement benefits.
Why Builders Love This Hybrid
- Stiff + Tough: Carbon delivers high stiffness; aramid adds impact/abrasion/fracture resistance.
- High-end Cosmetic: Dense 15×15 pic twill lays down clean and looks incredible under a UV-stable clear.
- Great Drape: Easily conforms to curves—ideal for skins, panels, and formed parts.
- Process-friendly: Works with wet layup, vacuum bagging, infusion, RTM, and can be converted to prepreg.
- Made in the USA: Woven to consistent standards for repeatable, professional results.
Typical Applications
- Automotive & motorsport: body panels, trim, dashboards, splitters, fairings
- Marine composites, UAV/FPV & drones, sporting goods, instrument housings
- High-strength paneling and protective skins where impact resistance matters
Layup Tips
- Rotate successive plies to balance properties in all directions.
- Non-structural skins and covers often use 1–2 plies; structural parts typically combine with additional reinforcements.
- Use sharp shears/rotary cutters; aramid fibers are tough and resist clean cutting.
- Finish with a UV-stable clear coat to preserve color vibrancy and cosmetic depth.
To convert the raw fabric into a rigid laminate, you will need a compatible resin system. For colored aramid hybrids, a water-clear or non-yellowing resin is recommended for best appearance.
