Seconds Quality / Damaged / Returned

Owing to our strict quality control and the practicalities of manufacturing and shipping carbon fibre sheet, we occasionally have seconds quality, defective or slightly damaged carbon fibre sheet to clear and a heavily discounted price.

These discounted sheets are only available occasionally and only in full 2sqm sheet sizes.

Any sheets listed on this page might available because they are old/returned, slightly damaged, have a slight manufacturing defect or in some other way not meet our exacting standards. In all cases their structural/mechanical performance will be unaffected and they will still be entirely suitable for any non-cosmetic applications or even less stringent cosmetic applications.

By buying a sheet listed on this page you understand and accept that there will be some cosmetic flaw on the sheet.

Product Description

Extra thin genuine carbon fibre veneer suitable for a range of applications where the appearance of genuine carbon fibre is required in a format that can be bonded to the surface of other materials to create an attractive, high gloss veneer surface.

The sheet is designed to sit very flat having minimal variation in thickness and is available with a plain 'peel-ply' finish to the reverse suitable for bonding to a range of substrates.

The 'A-side' of the sheet has the classic 2/2 twill, 3k woven carbon fibre appearance with a pin-hole free, high gloss finish.

This 0.25mm flexible carbon fibre sheet is ideal for use in furniture making, architectural detailing or adding genuine carbon fibre appearance to just about any flat surface.

Being 0.25mm thin, the veneer can easily follow single plane curves (like the radiused edge of a desk for example) but, in common with most carbon surfaces, it will eventually break if bent too far.

Cutting, Shaping & Finishing

As with all carbon fibre and composites (like fibreglass, carbon kevlar etc) good results can be achieved for cutting, shaping and finishing this sheet using regular workshop tools like hacksaws, jigsaws and wet-and-dry. In fact, this ultra thin veneer can actually be cut using strong scissors. Specialist tools can, however, make lighter work of the job and produce better results.

Laminate Composition

This carbon fibre veneer sheet is resin infused from a single layer of top quality 2/2 Twill 210gsm carbon fibre. This is the same fabric used in our other infused sheet. Further details along with the fabric specification and fibre type, can be seen on the Specification tab.

The matrix used is a high performance epoxy resin which offers excellent mechanicals, clarity and improved UV stability. The high temperature cure maximises the mechanical strength properties and results in a Tg (glass transition) of 80°C.
