Carbon Fibre Tape 250 gr/m2 50 mm
At a glance
- Decorative tape
- High strengh
- Easy to apply
Carbon fibre woven tape is a versatile reinforcing material for applications requiring high strength and a neat finish. With its narrow 50 mm width, this woven tape is ideal for local reinforcements and small repairs, such as corner reinforcements, wrapping tubes or reinforcing hockey sticks and similar parts.
At 250 g/m2, this tape offers an excellent balance between strength and ease of handling. The 3K carbon plain weave provides an even fibre distribution and a professional finish. It is suitable for both hand lay-up and vacuum processing.
Benefits of carbon fibre tape
- Ideal for local reinforcements and small repairs.
- Very high strength-to-weight ratio (lightweight yet stronger than steel).
- High stiffness: minimal deflection under load.
- Corrosion resistant.
- Temperature resistant.
- Professional appearance.
Applications
When combined with epoxy resin, carbon fibre tape is particularly suitable for:
- Corner reinforcements in composite structures.
- Wrapping tubes to make lightweight, strong tubular parts.
- Reinforcing sports equipment such as hockey sticks, kiteboards and bicycle parts.
- Repairing and reinforcing existing composite components.

Fibre type affects a composite's strength, stiffness, toughness and weight. Common reinforcement fibres include:
- Glass fibre: a cost-effective choice used widely in polyester and epoxy laminates.
- Carbon fibre: very stiff and lightweight, suitable for parts that need to be light and hold their shape.
- Aramid: a tough fibre with good resistance to certain impacts and tearing, but often harder to cut neatly and sand.
Final properties also depend on fibre orientation, fabric type, resin content and laminate quality.

Fabric or reinforcement type describes how the fibres are arranged. This affects how easily the material drapes over a shape and which directions it mainly reinforces.
- Plain weave (square weave): the yarns pass alternately over and under each other. The fabric is stable and works well on flat or gently curved surfaces.
- Twill weave: recognisable by its diagonal pattern. It is more flexible than plain weave and drapes more easily over curves.
- Unidirectional reinforcement (UD): the fibres run mainly in one direction, usually marked 0°. It provides reinforcement primarily along that direction.
- Multiaxial reinforcement: fibres are arranged in several directions, for example biaxial (+45°/-45°), Square (0°/90°) or triaxial (0°/+45°/-45°). Fibre bundles are normally held together by stitching rather than a conventional weave.
Note: a Square reinforcement (0°/90°) is not the same as a plain-woven square fabric. Also consider fibre type and areal weight (g/m²).

The measurement across a product from one side to the other, for example for rolls, panels or fabrics. With rolled materials, the usable width may differ from the overall width.

Resin consumption indicates how much resin is required to properly wet out a reinforcement material. It may be stated in g/m² (grams per square metre), g/m for narrow fabric tapes or as resin quantity relative to dry fibre weight. Actual use depends on fibre type, areal weight and laminating method.
- 25 g/m
-
Hand lay-up laminate thickness is the estimated thickness of one reinforcement layer after it has been impregnated with resin and consolidated with a roller. It is usually expressed in millimetres (mm). More layers produce a thicker laminate, but the final thickness also depends on fibre weight, resin uptake and consolidation.

- 10 m, 25 m, 50 m (full roll), 5 m
-
Areal weight is the weight of one square metre of dry reinforcement, expressed in g/m² (grams per square metre). For example, 200 g/m² glass fabric contains 200 grams of dry fibres per m², without resin. Areal weight helps with reinforcement selection and resin consumption estimates, but it is not the final laminate thickness.
