Carbon Fiber/Black Kevlar Fabric 2×2 Twill 3k 50″/127cm 5.5oz/186gsm (Remnant)

Description

Black Carbon Fiber/Black Kevlar Fabric/Cloth 50″ 3k 5.5oz 2×2 Twill. The material is a hybrid of carbon fiber and black Kevlar. This fabric has a width of 50″, tow size of 3k, and is woven in a 2×2 twill weave. This material looks nearly identical to normal carbon fiber 2×2 twill fabric; however you get the additional strength properties of the Kevlar. To the untrained eye, this will look just like normal carbon.

To harden the raw fabric into a usable form, you will need the appropriate resin or epoxy for your project. For the colored materials, we suggest one of our resins which cure clear.

Product Description

Carbon Fiber / Aramid / Kevlar Hybrid fabrics.

This carbon fiber and aramid hybrid fabric combine the properties of both highly advanced fiber reinforcements. The carbon tow provides a very high level of strength and stiffness, while the aramid provides excellent impact/abrasion/fracture resistance to the laminate layup. The aramid used in our cloth featuring colored aramid is DuPont Kevlar®, while the natural or yellow aramid fabrics use either DuPont Kevlar or Lumat brand aramid. These fabrics are not just amazing-looking clothes but combined with their unique weave patterns; they are ideal for usage in a wide variety of different applications. Many high-performance, high-impact applications can benefit from these materials, such as boat building, automotive, military, racing, sporting goods, and high strength paneling, to name a few.

This material is suitable for just about any process that you would like to use. Like a simple wet-layup or more advanced processes like vacuum infusion, vacuum bagging, or RTM manufacturing processes. In addition to dry cloth, we are able to have this turned into prepreg for the advanced composite customer. This material is also highly sought after for parts that are being wrapped/skinned for just a single surface layer when trying to gain that cool composite look with an added reinforcement layer and not spending the time or money into creating tools for finished parts.

When using this material as a reinforcement in a part, you will want to use several layers of this fabric in each part. We also recommend rotating the composite layers to give the parts the same attributes in all directions. Non-structural components like body panels and covers will typically require only 1 or two layers of this cloth when combining this with other layers of reinforcement like standard carbon fiber or fiberglass fabrics.

First Quality Remnants:

First Quality Fabric Remnant Rolls are short rolls of fabric, which have no defects in them.  These remnant rolls are either leftover fabric from the end of a roll or sections of fabric cut at the wrong length for a specific order.  So instead of discarding the short roll, we package it up and sell it as a First Quality Remnant Roll.  These First Quality Remnant Rolls are sold at 20% off of the retail price of that fabric.

Second Quality Remnants:

Second Quality Fabric Remnant Rolls are short rolls of fabric, which have a defect in the woven fabric in them.  These remnant rolls are cut out of the standard fabrics we sell but from sections of the rolls that may have some defects in them.  These defects make them not good to use if you want to make cosmetic parts, which have a perfect woven fabric in them but can be used as the inner layers of your parts, or if you are making small parts and can cut around the defects.  These Second Quality Remnant Rolls are sold at 25% off of the retail price of that fabric.

All remnant rolls are rounded DOWN to the nearest ½ yard. So a remnant listed as 0.5 yards may actually be between 18” and 35” in length, and a remnant listed as 2.0 yards may actually be between 72” and 89” in length.
