Probuild Carbon Fibre Plain Weave 3K 200g 1sq Ft.

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).
