Carbon Fibre Cloth 600g +/-45 Triaxial 3k is a premium reinforcement fabric engineered for high-performance composite applications requiring exceptional strength and rigidity. This fabric features three layers of carbon fiber tows, arranged in a triaxial configuration with fibers oriented at +/-45 degrees and 0 degrees. The 3k designation indicates that each tow consists of 3,000 individual carbon filaments, contributing to its impressive mechanical properties. With an areal weight of 600 g/m², this fabric is ideal for applications demanding greater thickness and stiffness while maintaining the lightweight characteristics of carbon fiber.
