Carbon Fibre Cloth Fabric 3k Plain Weave 200gsm. This roll is 1m (39") wide. The price is per linear metre - please purchase the number of linear metres you require.
When purchasing multiple metres the fabric will be supplied in one continuous length on a roll.
This is the same top quality carbon fibre fabric used in our manufacturing facility every day and also the same fabric that is optionally available in our best-selling carbon fibre starter kits.
Uses and Suitability
Plain weave carbon fibre fabric is the 2nd most commonly used type of carbon cloth. Instead of having the distinctive diagonal pattern of 2/2 twill, plain weave is woven over-one-under-one leaving it with a simple grid pattern appearance.
Plain weave might be selected over 2/2 twill for cosmetic reasons (matching fabric already used on a vehicle for example) or because its tighter weave makes it easier to handle without distorting it. If you need the fabric to 'drape' very easily into and over curved shapes then you might want to consider 2/2 twill instead which is better suited to such shapes.
This carbon fibre cloth is suitable for use in wet-lay, vacuum bagging and resin infusion manufacture as well as for use as a single surface layer where parts are being made to look like carbon fibre (skinning).
When using only carbon fibre reinforcement in a part you should expect to use several layers of this fabric in each part. None-structural components like body panels and covers will typically require 3-6 layers of a carbon fibre cloth of this weight.

All UK fabric orders will be shipped carefully wrapped around a tube and boxed. All international orders for more than one metre will also be shipped carefully wrapped around a tube and boxed however, due to the large size of the box required (and therefore high cost of shipping) international orders for a single metre of fabric will be shipped carefully folded into a box.
If you are an international customer wanting only a single metre of fabric and are not happy for the fabric to be carefully folded please contact us before ordering to obtain a quotation.
