STANDARD 12k carbon fibre sheets and plates are manufactured using multiple layers of genuine 100% 12k 2×2 carbon fibre twill reinforcements infused with epoxy resin creating a high stiffness, high strength, light weight and aesthetically pleasing material. The plates also have the option of facing the surfaces with 3k 2×2 twill carbon fibre.
Mechanical performance is on par with our PREMIUM 3k carbon fibre sheets & are suitable for the same structurally demanding applications especially where material costs are a key consideration. STANDARD 12k carbon fibre plate will a little more notch sensitive than our PREMIUM 3k range meaning that more edge finishing is required to leave a ‘clean’ edge. However, it is still an excellent choice where detailed features are required to be machined into the sheet or plate.
The sheet possess a mirror like gloss finish on one side and a texture/matt finish on the other to enable optimum bonding.
