Thickness: Precisely calibrated to 3mm (tolerance may vary by manufacturer, often ±0.1mm to ±0.2mm for standard grades; tighter tolerances available for precision applications).
Material Composition:
1.Reinforcement: High-modulus or high-strength carbon fiber (e.g., T300, T700, or Torayca grades), typically woven in patterns like plain weave (for balanced strength) or twill weave (for improved conformability and aesthetics).
2.Matrix: Thermoset resin (most commonly epoxy) for excellent adhesion to carbon fibers, chemical resistance, and thermal stability; thermoplastic matrices are also available for enhanced.
Surface Finish: Available in glossy (polished resin surface), matte (textured resin), or exposed carbon fiber (for visual appeal); some sheets may have a protective film (peel-off) to prevent scratches during handling.
Dimensional Options: Standard sheet sizes include 300mm x 300mm, 600mm x 600mm, or 1000mm x 1000mm, but custom cuts (via CNC routing, laser cutting, or waterjet cutting) are common for specific designs.
Advantage:
1.Exceptional strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios
2.Corrosion-resistant (resistant to moisture, chemicals, and UV damage with proper coating).
3.Low thermal expansion: Maintains dimensional stability across temperature changes.
4.Aesthetic appeal: Exposed carbon fiber weave is valued for high-end, technical designs.
