General Properties

Subtle Aesthetics and Functional Design
The matte finish of these sheets provides a non-reflective surface, making them ideal for environments where glare reduction is crucial, such as interior design, photography, or video production. The plain weave structure offers balanced strength in both directions, ensuring consistent mechanical performance. This design is complemented by the matte surface, which resists fingerprints and minor scratches, maintaining a clean and professional appearance over time. With a range of thicknesses, these sheets cater to both lightweight decorative projects and more demanding structural applications.

Wide Range of Applications
Carbon fibre matte plain sheets are used across various sectors, including automotive, aerospace, construction, and consumer products. In the automotive industry, they are popular for interior trims, dashboard panels, and custom accents, offering a modern yet subtle look. In aerospace, their lightweight properties make them ideal for interior components. In the consumer market, they are used for sleek, durable phone cases, laptop covers, and sporting goods. Their availability in multiple sizes and thicknesses further enhances their suitability for both small-scale and large-scale projects.

Durability and Performance
Despite their lightweight nature, these sheets are incredibly durable, withstanding high tensile and compressive forces. The matte finish, combined with the inherent properties of carbon fibre, ensures resistance to UV exposure, moisture, and abrasion. This makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The varying thicknesses from 1 mm to 5 mm provide options for customization based on the project’s requirements, whether for aesthetic overlays or load-bearing components. Their combination of subtle aesthetics and robust performance makes them a valuable material for high-end designs and engineering solutions.

Technical Specifications for Carbon Fibre Sheet Matte Plain Weave
