Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Cloth
Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Cloth is a versatile woven fabric engineered for structural reinforcement applications across diverse industries. Manufactured from high-strength PAN-based carbon fiber, this cloth provides exceptional tensile strength, stiffness, and durability for upgrading existing structures and reinforcing new composite components. Available in 3k, 6k, and 12k tow sizes with plain, twill, and satin weaves. Areal weights range from 300 to 1200 g/m² to suit different reinforcement requirements. The fabric is compatible with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resin systems. Applications include concrete strengthening, bridge repair, industrial equipment reinforcement, and composite part manufacturing where increased structural performance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reinforcement cloth is used to increase load capacity, repair damaged structures, and extend service life. Applications include flexural and shear strengthening of concrete, seismic retrofitting, composite part manufacturing, and industrial equipment reinforcement.
Higher areal weights (600–1200 g/m²) are used for heavy structural strengthening where large load increases are required. Lower weights (300–600 g/m²) are used for moderate reinforcement, repair, and composite manufacturing. Engineering analysis should guide the selection.
Yes. When installed with a compatible epoxy system and protected with a UV-resistant coating or topcoat, carbon fiber reinforcement is durable in exterior environments. The carbon fiber itself is UV-resistant, but the resin matrix requires protection.
When properly installed with a suitable resin system and protected from UV exposure, carbon fiber reinforcement provides a service life of 50+ years. The carbon fiber is inert and does not degrade over time.
