Carbon Fiber Veneer - 1K Plain Weave - Standard Modulus - Gloss / Adhesive Backing - 126" x 42" x 1/64"
Carbon Fiber Veneer - 1K Plain Weave - Standard Modulus - Gloss / Adhesive Backing - 126" x 42" x 1/64"
This carbon fiber sheet is made with real carbon fiber and is ideal for applications where cosmetic requirements outweigh structural. This plate is easily trimmed with scissors (by hand!) allowing its use in a huge variety of applications such as clearing electronics in a dashboard or door sills in your McLaren. Oh wait, carbon fiber is already there!
Each weave in our 1k veneer is about 1mm wide. Being only as thick as 3 pieces of copy paper this carbon fiber veneer shows what appear to be pinholes in between the individual strands / tows of carbon fiber when held up to a light source. Rest assured however, these are not pinholes and disappear completely once glued or stuck to any opaque substrate surface such as wood, plastic or other solid surface.

- 0° fibers maximize bending stiffness and run along the length of the part. Consider bending a tube over your knee.
- 45° fibers maximize torsional stiffness and are typically plied together in an opposing manner, i.e. ±45°. Consider twisting a tube like a vehicle's driveshaft.
- 90° (or "hoop") fibers maximize crushing stiffness and generally assist in overall durability. Consider laying a tube on the ground and stepping on it.
