Carbon Fiber Plain Weave Fabric is a lightweight, high-strength composite material made by interlacing carbon fiber yarns in a simple over-under pattern. This uniform structure ensures balanced mechanical properties and exceptional durability.

• High Tensile Strength: Ranges from 3,000-5,000 MPa, ideal for structural applications requiring minimal weight.
• Lightweight: Density as low as 1.5-2.0 g/cm³, critical for aerospace and automotive industries.
• Corrosion Resistance: Impervious to acids, alkalis, and solvents, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• Thermal Stability: Operates effectively up to 400°C without significant degradation.
• Electrical Conductivity: Non-conductive properties ensure safety in electronic and aerospace applications.

1. Precursor Processing: Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers are stabilized at 200-300°C and carbonized at 1,000-3,000°C to form graphite-like structures.
2. Yarn Formation: Carbon filaments (5-25 µm diameter) are bundled into tows (e.g., 3K, 6K, 12K) for uniformity.
3. Weaving: Tows are interlaced in a plain weave pattern (0°/90°) using automated looms to create a tight, checkerboard structure.
4. Surface Treatment: Coated with sizing agents (e.g., silane) to enhance resin adhesion and UV resistance.
5. Quality Control: ISO 9001-certified testing for tensile strength, thickness uniformity, and fiber alignment.

• Handling: Wear PPE (gloves, goggles) to avoid fiber irritation; use sharp tools cautiously to prevent breakage.
• Resin Compatibility: Match fabric type (e.g., standard modulus vs. high modulus) with epoxy, polyester, or vinyl ester resins.
• Curing Conditions: Maintain 120-150°C and 0.5-1.0 MPa pressure during curing to eliminate voids.
• Storage: Store in dry, ventilated areas (humidity <60%); avoid prolonged UV exposure to prevent coating degradation.
