Silver Metalized High Density Carbon Fiber Fabric 2x2 Twill 3k 7oz/238gsm Toray T300
Description
Silver Metalized High Density Carbon Fiber Fabric 2x2 Twill 3k 7oz/238gsm – Toray T300
Create a premium metallic carbon look with our Silver Metalized High Density Carbon Fiber Fabric. Produced with genuine Toray T300 3k tow, this fabric features a fine silver aluminized coating on one face, delivering a bright, reflective appearance while preserving full resin wet-out and the mechanical performance you expect from aerospace-grade carbon fiber.
One side presents a sleek silver metalized finish, ideal for cosmetic “bare weave” surfaces and heat-reflective applications, while the reverse side is classic black 2×2 twill carbon. A high-density construction and integrated stabilization (Web-Lock) minimize fraying and fiber distortion, giving you exceptionally clean cuts and professional-grade laminates.
Technical Specifications
- Fiber: 100% carbon fiber (Toray T300 3k)
- Finish: Silver aluminized coating on one face, standard carbon on opposite side
- Weave: High-density 2×2 twill
- Areal Weight: ~7.0 oz (≈238 gsm)
- Standard Width: 50 in (127 cm)
- Stabilization: Web-Lock technology helps hold the weave and reduce distortion during handling
- Recommended Resins: Epoxy (preferred), vinyl ester, or polyester laminating systems compatible with carbon fiber
Key Features & Benefits
- Striking Silver Appearance: Aluminized face delivers a unique, high-end metallic carbon aesthetic for visible parts, interior trim, and show-quality components.
- High-Density 3k Construction: Tight weave for improved coverage, durability, and a refined surface finish.
- Dimensional Stability: Web-Lock reduces fraying and shifting, making layup, cutting, and alignment easier and more predictable.
- True Structural Carbon: Built on Toray T300 3k for reliable stiffness, strength, and fatigue resistance when incorporated into a proper laminate schedule.
- Versatile Processing: Suitable for wet layup, vacuum bagging, resin infusion, and other standard composite manufacturing methods.
Typical Applications
- Automotive & motorsport body panels, aero components, and interior/exterior trim
- Motorcycle & powersports fairings, tank covers, and cosmetic skins
- Consumer electronics housings, audio enclosures, and industrial design components
- Motorsport, marine, and aerospace-style parts where a reflective silver carbon look is desired
- Decorative panels, instrument clusters, and show pieces
Processing Notes
- The aluminized coating is engineered to be thin enough to allow resin penetration and proper bonding.
For cosmetic faces, orient the silver side outward and use a clear, UV-stable resin for depth and clarity.
Ordering
- Width: 50" (127 cm)
- Sold by:Linear Yard — 1 yard = 36" length × full width
- Continuous Lengths: Multiple yards ship as one continuous piece whenever possible.
Color & Finish Disclaimer: Due to monitor settings, lighting conditions, and processing variables, the appearance of the silver metalized surface on-screen may differ from the final cured laminate. Always perform a small trial panel to confirm compatibility and aesthetics with your chosen resin system.
How We Sell
We sell this fabric by the linear yard. You will receive a continuous piece of fabric at the width listed.
For example, if the fabric is 50" wide, a quantity of 1 (linear yard) equals a continuous piece measuring 50" wide × 36" long. A quantity of 5 (linear yards) equals a continuous piece measuring 50" wide × 180" long.
