Plain Weave Carbon Kevlar Fabric
Plain Weave Carbon Kevlar Fabric is a high-performance hybrid reinforcement that combines high-strength carbon fiber (3500–4200 MPa) with aramid (Kevlar) fiber in a stable 1×1 plain weave architecture. This construction delivers the stiffness and tensile strength of carbon paired with the superior impact resistance, toughness, and abrasion resistance of Kevlar. The plain weave provides maximum dimensional stability and accurate fiber alignment, making it suitable for precision applications. Available in 3k carbon / 1000d Kevlar configurations with areal weights from 200 to 400 g/m². This hybrid fabric is ideal for applications requiring both structural rigidity and damage tolerance — including aerospace, automotive, and industrial components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plain weave provides maximum dimensional stability, precise fiber alignment, and reduced distortion during layup. It is preferred for flat panel applications, tooling, and precision laminates where stability and accuracy are critical. Twill offers better drape for curved surfaces.
Yes. The fabric is compatible with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resin systems. Epoxy provides the best mechanical properties and adhesion to both fiber types. For impact-critical applications, use a toughened epoxy system to maximize the hybrid benefit.
Plain weave Carbon Kevlar fabric is stable and easy to handle but has limited drape. It works best on flat or single-curvature surfaces. The hybrid nature requires sharp cutting tools — use ceramic or carbide blades to minimize fuzzing and ensure clean edges.
Yes. The plain weave provides controlled permeability for vacuum infusion. Recommended resin viscosity: 80–250 cP. Use flow media for panels larger than 1 m². The hybrid nature may require slightly higher injection pressure to ensure complete wet-out of both fiber types.
