Carbon Fiber / Innegra Hybrid 2x2 Twill 3k/940d – 5.19oz (176gsm) – 50in Wide

Unlock advanced impact performance with our Carbon Fiber/Innegra Hybrid 2x2 Twill Fabric. This engineered reinforcement blends the stiffness and fatigue resistance of 3k carbon fiber with the remarkable impact absorption and toughness of Innegra™ polypropylene fiber. The result is a lightweight, damage-tolerant hybrid ideal for motorsports, marine, protective gear, and performance products where weight and durability both matter.

Technical Overview

• Construction: Carbon Fiber / Innegra™ hybrid
• Weave: 2×2 Twill
• Fiber: 3k Carbon / 940d Innegra
• Areal Weight: 5.19 oz (≈176 gsm)
• Standard Width: 50 in (127 cm)
• Quality: 1st Quality
• Compatible Resins: Epoxy (recommended), vinyl ester, polyester

Key Benefits

• Enhanced impact resistance: Innegra fibers help diffuse energy and mitigate cracking, ideal for high-energy environments.
• Damage tolerance: Hybrid construction improves edge durability and reduces splintering for longer service life.

• Lightweight strength: Carbon fiber provides excellent stiffness and strength at low weight, while Innegra keeps the laminate resilient.

• Versatile cosmetics: Hybrid weave offers a distinctive technical appearance suitable for visible or semi-visible applications.

Recommended Applications

• Motorsports & powersports: bodywork, panels, impact-prone aero pieces, guards, and interior components.
• Marine & watersports: kayaks, canoes, paddle shafts, boards, and impact-resistant hull or rail reinforcements.
• Protective equipment: bumpers, guards, shields, and housings where toughness is critical.
• Sporting goods: hockey/lacrosse sticks, bike components, rackets, and other high-performance gear.
• Hybrid skins & backers: use as outer or intermediate plies to improve toughness of full carbon laminates.

Processing Notes

• Suitable for wet layup, vacuum bagging, resin infusion, RTM, and other closed-mold processes.
• Use sharp composite shears and secure edges to minimize fraying during handling.
• When using as a toughening layer, consider placing the hybrid on the tensile or impact side of the laminate stack.
• Select an appropriate epoxy or compatible resin system based on your performance and temperature requirements.

Ordering
