160 g/m² carbon fabric (Style 442-5 Aero) made from high-strength 3k carbon fibres in a 2/2 twill weave.
Highly drapable reinforcement fabric for lightweight CFRP parts with curved contours and high-quality visible carbon surfaces.
MATERIAL TO AEROSPACE SPECIFICATION
Style 442-5 Aero is manufactured from Tenax® HTA 40 or Pyrofil™ TR30S carbon fibres to material specification WL 8.3611. The 2/2 twill weave provides good drapability over curved mould surfaces and three-dimensional component contours. With an areal weight of 160 g/m², the fabric is suitable for lightweight, contoured CFRP laminates and visible carbon parts with a distinctive twill pattern.

Properties and processing
The 2/2 twill weave has fewer yarn interlacings than a plain weave, allowing the fabric to conform more easily to radii, curved mould surfaces and complex component geometries. The balanced warp and weft counts provide reinforcement in both principal fibre directions. The diagonal twill pattern also makes the fabric suitable for decorative visible carbon surfaces.
The fabric can be processed with suitable epoxy laminating resin systems. Maintain accurate fibre alignment during cutting and lay-up, as twill fabrics are more prone to yarn displacement than plain-weave fabrics. Complete fibre wet-out and careful air removal are particularly important in multi-ply lay-ups.
