Epoxy Compatible Carbon Fiber Cloth
Epoxy Compatible Carbon Fiber Cloth features a proprietary sizing formulation that is chemically matched to epoxy resin systems, ensuring optimal wet-out, adhesion, and stress transfer at the fiber-matrix interface. The sizing agent is applied during the final manufacturing stage and is characterized by a uniform distribution of polar functional groups that react with epoxy hardeners during cure. This cloth is available in a range of tow sizes (3k, 6k, 12k) and weave patterns, with areal weights from 160 to 800 g/m². The sizing is designed to maintain stability during storage while promoting rapid dissolution into the epoxy matrix during infusion, prepreg consolidation, or hand layup processes.

Sizing & Fabric Specifications
Key Advantages for Epoxy Processing
- Eliminates sizing incompatibility issues common with general-purpose carbon cloths
- Reduces void formation due to complete sizing dissolution during resin infiltration
- Provides consistent laminate mechanical properties across batch-to-batch production
- Compatible with both room-temperature and elevated-temperature epoxy systems
- Minimizes fiber bridging and dry spots in thick laminates
Technical Notes
Sizing formulation and fabric construction are validated against these standards to ensure reproducible performance in epoxy-based composite structures.
