LIGHT WEIGHT CARBON FIBER FABRICS


BIDIRECTIONAL CARBON FABRIC

Untitled Document
  • CST supplies the lightest highest quality carbon fabrics available.
  • All of our 1K light weight fabrics use a unique flattened tow that results in a thinner fabric which requires less epoxy resin, producing parts that are lighter.
  • Ultra light weight carbon fabrics start at 2 oz. per square yd. and only 0.004" thickness, with many ultra light fabrics to choose from.
  • We also have many of the medium weight carbon fiber fabrics.
  • All of our carbon fabrics are sold by the foot for small projects or by the full roll for larger projects.
  • Carbon fiber fabric is the best choice if the part must have very high strength, high stiffness at the lowest possible weight.

UNIDIRECTIONAL CARBON FABRIC

  • CST Unidirectional Carbon Fabric is available in a wide range of weights, widths and binders.
  • Starting with an ultra light weight of only 1.5 oz./sq. yd. and thickness of 0.003 inch.
  • Web binder uni carbon is available in 2 and 12 inch widths. It can be cut into any width or shape.
  • High Modulus fiber unidirectional fabric is also available.
  • Carbon Tow works well for many small parts that need unidirectional strength.
  • Carbon Tow in 1k, 3k, 6k, 12k, and 50k sizes in short lengths and full spools.

CARBON FIBER TISSUE/VEIL

  • CST Carbon Fiber Veil also known as Carbon Tissue is an ultra light non woven carbon fiber with random fiber orientation.
  • This material is used to provide a smooth surface on parts.
  • CST Carbon Fiber Veil is available in 0.2 and 0.5 oz./sq. yd. weights.

OTHER AVAILABLE LIGHT WEIGHT FABRICS


LIGHT WEIGHT ARAMID (KEVLAR®) FABRIC
