Biaxial carbon fibre cloth 200 g/m² is a lightweight structural carbon material composed of two layers of unidirectional carbon fibres oriented at an angle of ±45° to each other. This biaxial construction ensures efficient load distribution, resulting in an excellent combination of stiffness, strength and low weight.
This carbon fabric is particularly suitable for applications where the material is subjected to tensile, compressive and bending loads. Thanks to the straightened fibres, the fabric contains virtually no internal stresses, contributing to optimal mechanical performance. In addition, the fabric is highly flexible and easy to drape, allowing it to be applied smoothly and without wrinkles to complex shapes and double-curved surfaces.
Applications
Biaxial carbon fibre cloth 200 g/m² is widely used in high-performance, lightweight constructions, including:
- Reinforcement of boat hulls and decks.
- Body panels and structural components.
- Aerospace and automotive applications.
- Model making.
- High-performance sports equipment.
A key advantage of the biaxial fibre orientation is that torsional reinforcement layers can be applied in a single operation, making this material highly efficient in structural laminates.
Biaxial carbon fibre cloth is also available in 100 gr/m² (0.19 mm thickness) and 400 gr/m2 (0.61 mm thickness).
Processing
For optimum mechanical properties, the use of epoxy resin is recommended. For decorative applications or cosmetic layers, the carbon fabric can also be processed with polyester resin. The material is suitable for various processing methods, such as:
- Hand lay-up.
- Wet bagging.
- Vacuum infusion.
Resin consumption
| Application method | Layer thickness | Resin consumption |
| Hand lay-up | 0.33 mm | approx. 203 gr/m2 |
| Wet Bagging | 0.28 mm | approx. 159 gr/m2 |
| Resin Infusion | 0.27 mm | approx. 146 gr/m2 |

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).

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.
