285g 4x4 Twill 3k Carbon Fibre (1250mm)

Typical Uses

A great looking and highly distinctive 4x4 twill carbon fibre fabric reinforcement. 4x4 twill (also known as basket weave) offers the highest level of drapability, making it a good choice for the most compound curvatures, like helmets and wing mirrors.

This premium quality dry carbon fibre fabric reinforcement is suitable for a wide range of high performance composite reinforcement applications including hand-lamination, vacuum bagging, resin infusion and overlaying/skinning.

This 285gsm, 4/4 twill weave fabric is a great visual carbon fibre and has the rarer and more premium looking 4x4 twill appearance associated with some of the world's top supercars and hypercars.

285g is the optimum weight for a 3k 4x4 twill, with the tighter weave offering improved stability and a more ‘closed’ appearance on what can otherwise be an unmanageably delicate weave. Nonetheless, dry 4x4 twill is still a very delicate fabric and should be handled with extreme care to avoid distortion in cosmetic applications.

When using only carbon fibre reinforcement in a part you should expect to use several layers of this fabric in each part. None-structural components like body panels and covers will typically require 3-6 layers of a carbon fibre cloth of this weight, although more commonly a lightweight 3k fabric like this will be used as a surface ply, with heavier (and more cost effective) 6k or 12k plies used to make up the total thickness.
