Carbon Fiber Fabric Biaxial +45/-45 Degree 12k 4.42oz/150gsm T700 Fiber
Description
Description
Carbon Fiber Fabric – Biaxial ±45° (12k) · 50in/127cm · 4.42oz/150gsm · T700 Fiber
This cost-effective, structural carbon fabric is built from 12k T700 PAN-based fiber in a non-crimp biaxial ±45° layout. The tows are held with a light stitch (NCF), keeping fibers straight for excellent load transfer while providing easy handling in wet layup, vacuum bagging, and resin infusion. At 150 gsm (4.42 oz) and 50 in (127 cm) wide, it’s a great choice for adding shear/torsional stiffness or building thickness without excessive weight.
Why choose this fabric
- Balanced ±45° orientation optimizes shear and torsional performance.
- Non-crimp stitched (NCF) construction minimizes fiber crimp, improving mechanical properties.
- Light 150 gsm areal weight for fast laminate build-up and easy drape.
- T700 12k fibers deliver dependable strength at an attractive price point.
- Excellent for wet layup, vacuum bagging, and resin infusion.
Typical uses
Structural skins, torsion boxes, bulk plies beneath cosmetic outer layers, marine and auto panels, UAV/robotics structures, tubes and beams, and composite repairs. Note: The stitch lines make this fabric less suitable for an exposed cosmetic finish.
Processing & compatibility
- Compatible with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resins.
- Use an appropriate resin or epoxy system to convert the dry fabric into a laminate.
