Carbon Fiber Fabric Veil – Chopped Strand Mat – 38 in / 96.5 cm

Ultra-light carbon fiber veil (random-oriented chopped strands) designed for surface finishing, print-through reduction, and improved resin flow during vacuum infusion. The veil wets out instantly and adds negligible weight, creating a uniform, paint-ready outer ply over woven fabrics or cores.

Key Benefits

• Reduces weave telegraphing / print-through for a smoother cosmetic finish.
• Enhances infusion flow and resin distribution across the part surface.
• Improves interlaminar toughness and scratch resistance of the outer ply.
• Conductive carbon veil—useful where ESD/conductivity is desired.
• Wets out quickly with epoxy, vinyl ester, or polyester resins; easy hand-cutting.
• Minimal weight gain: available in 7 GSM to suit finish goals.

Typical Uses

• Cosmetic outer ply under clear coat or paint to minimize fabric texture.
• First ply against peel ply during infusion to improve flow and surface quality.
• Surface veil over sandwich cores to create a uniform bondline and finish.
• Cosmetic repair skins and fairing layers where low mass is critical.

Process Notes

• Place the veil as the first or final ply to achieve your target cosmetic finish.
• Because the veil is very light, expect a resin-rich film that sands and finishes well.
• Always follow your resin manufacturer’s safety and cure recommendations.
