240gsm Carbon Fiber Fabric

Optimized for applications requiring increased thickness and stiffness — offering superior surface finish and structural performance.
240 g/m² Areal weight
0.34 mm Thickness (4HS)
4HS Standard weave

240gsm Carbon Fiber Fabric offers increased areal weight for applications requiring greater thickness, stiffness, and structural performance per ply. This fabric is typically woven in a 4-harness satin (4HS) pattern, providing excellent drape and a smooth surface finish. The heavier weight reduces the number of plies required to achieve target laminate thickness, accelerating layup times and reducing labor costs. Available in 3k and 6k tow sizes with plain, twill, and 4HS weaves. The 240gsm weight is ideal for automotive body panels, marine components, sporting goods, and applications where a premium cosmetic finish is required. Compatible with all resin systems and processing methods.

Frequently Asked Questions

240gsm provides approximately 20% more thickness and stiffness per ply, reducing the number of layers needed for structural laminates. It also offers a smoother surface finish due to the 4HS satin weave, making it ideal for cosmetic applications.

4HS satin weave provides excellent drape and a smooth surface finish, which complements the heavier weight. The satin pattern reduces crimp, maintaining good mechanical properties while improving aesthetics.

Yes. 240gsm is suitable for vacuum infusion. The satin weave provides good permeability, and the weight allows efficient resin flow. Recommended resin viscosity: 80–300 cP at injection temperature.

With vacuum bagging, cured ply thickness is approximately 0.34 mm for 4HS satin. With compression molding or autoclave, thickness reduces to approximately 0.30 mm at higher fiber volume fractions.

Yes. The 4HS satin weave provides a smooth, uniform surface that accepts clear coats well. For the best cosmetic finish, ensure proper resin flow and compaction to minimize surface porosity.
