Carbon fabric 240 g/m² (twill weave) 125 cm
At a glance
- Weight: 240 gr/m²
- Weave style: twill
- Width: 125 cm
Very affordable carbon fabric 240 g/m2 twill weave. This carbon weave, has a high-quality fibre with exceptional stiffness. This makes it widely used in motorsports, aerospace, aircraft construction, yacht construction and similar sectors.
Thanks to the twill weave, this carbon fabric is very flexible, making it easy to lay shapes, curves and details. This type of carbon fabric is also popular because of its recognizable, high-quality appearance. The carbon fabric is 125 cm wide and can therefore be used well for carbon overlays, for example on a bonnet. The extra grammage compared to carbon fabric 200 g/m2 ensures that the fibres are closer together, which prevents the substrate from showing through.
Processing carbon fabric
Carbon fabric is best used when processed in combination with RESION Superclear epoxy resin. The fabric has a resin consumption of approximately 329 gr/m² and gives a layer thickness of 0.47 mm when laminated manually.
For the best results we recommend using a vacuum technique. However, for most applications this is not necessary.
Resin consumption
| Application method | Layer thickness | Resin consumption |
| Hand lay-up | 0.47 mm | approx. 329 g/m2 |
| Wet bagging | 0.37 mm | approx. 230 g/m2 |
| Vacuum injection | 0.34 mm | approx. 195 g/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.
