Carbon Fiber Fabric – 2x2 Twill Triaxial 0/ +60/ -60 • 3k/6k • 52″/132 cm • 8 oz / 271 gsm • Hexcel AS4C

Build near–quasi-isotropic laminates in a single ply with this premium triaxial 0/ +60/ -60 carbon fiber fabric. The 2×2 twill face provides a smooth, cosmetic surface while the three fiber orientations deliver balanced stiffness and strength in-plane—perfect for parts that see loads from multiple directions.

Manufactured with Hexcel AS4C aerospace-grade carbon fiber (bias 3k and axial 6k tows) using A&P Technology Qiso-L-52 construction, this fabric lays down quickly, drapes cleanly over complex geometry, and reduces the number of plies and seams required compared with conventional 0/90 or ±45 layups.

Key Specifications

• Weave / Construction: Triaxial 0° / +60° / −60° with a 2×2 twill face
• Fiber: Hexcel AS4C (3k bias, 6k axial) – aerospace performance
• Areal Weight: ~8 oz (≈ 271 gsm)
• Usable Width: 52″ (132 cm)
• Tow Size: 3k / 6k combination
• Finish: Smooth twill face for cosmetic parts and easy wet-out
• Compatible Systems: Epoxy, vinyl-ester, polyester, infusion & prepreg processes

Why Triaxial 0/+60/−60?

• Balanced, multi-directional properties in a single layer for efficient layups.
• Fewer plies & seams versus stacking 0/±45 fabrics—saves time and resin.
• Excellent drape & consolidation from the twill face and spread tow architecture.
• Stable cloth that resists fraying for cleaner trimming and less edge print-through.

Typical Applications

• Motorsports bodywork, aero panels, splitters & diffusers
• UAV/Drone airframes, robotics structures & gimbals
• Marine & sporting-goods laminates requiring cosmetic twill finish
• High-performance panels, enclosures, instrument housings

Processing Notes

Wet-out with a quality laminating resin or epoxy system. Consolidate by hand lay-up, vacuum bagging, or vacuum infusion for the best fiber-to-resin ratio and surface finish.

Sold by the linear yard. Continuous yardage ships on a one roll when possible.
