1.Product Description
Designed to meet the most exacting standards of any carbon fiber sheet, our
Double-sided
High Strength smooth Carbon fiber Sheet is manufactured from 100% carbon fiber reinforcement and pressed at high temperature and pressure to create a high performance double sided carbon fiber sheet with a smooth, high-gloss finish on both sides.
Double-sided carbon fiber sheets manufactured from 100% high-strength prepreg carbon fiber, pressed at high temperature and pressure between polished plattens to produce the highest quality carbon fiber sheet available. Smooth, flat, gloss finish on both sides suitable for cosmetic or structural applications including motorsport, aerospace, engineering, drones/UAVs, modelling and more.

Further processing into sandwich panels
5.Technical Details
Manufacturing Process
These sheets are made in-house in our specially designed platen press.
By manufacturing in-house we can supply the highest quality prepreg carbon fiber sheet available at the best possible price; a combination that has won us ongoing contracts supplying some of the biggest names in technology, engineering and motor-sport.
Laminate Composition
The matrix used is a high performance epoxy resin which offers excellent mechanicals, clarity and improved UV stability. The high temperature cure maximises the mechanical strength properties and results in a Tg (glass transition) of 80°C.
Our Double A-Side High Strength Carbon fiber Sheet is manufactured from multiple layers of our XPREG XC130 Prepreg Carbon 3K, 210g, 2/2 Twill and our
Prepreg Carbon fiber 12K, 450g, 2/2 Twill in the following lay ups:

How to Cut and Shape
This carbon fiber sheet can easily be cut and finished to a high standard using simple workshop tools. Cutting and finishing carbon fiber can also be perfectly safe if you follow some basic safety precautions.

---------- FAQ ----------

1:
Do The Cut Edges Need Sealing And, If So, What With?Whether or not cut edges would benefit from sealing really comes down to the application and environment where the sheet will be used, specifically, we're really talking about prolonged or permanent exposure to liquids like water, chemicals, oil etc. In an application where the cut edge of the sheet is going to be regularly or permanently exposed to liquids then it would be beneficial to seal the edge to prevent water ingress which, over enough time, can travel down the fibers and cause delamination.
Based on the above, if edge sealing is deemed advantageous then it's best done using some epoxy resin which should be mixed (according to its accompanying instructions) and either be brushed or smeared on the cut edge, or the cut edge dipped in it.
2:
What Weight Can Sheet Take? Could You Walk Across It If It Covered A Hole In The Floor?It's not possible to give an exact weight because it would depend on many things (how the sheet is supported, what the span in, how the weight it loaded, whether the sheet is a 'free span' (i.e. not bonded/fixed) or bonded or fixed (so you get a 'drum skin' effect). That said, you could be confident that a sheet slid over a hole such that the sheet is supported on all sides would support the weight of an average person quite easily.3.Can This Material Be Re-Shaped?
I guess you're asking if it can be heated and re-formed (like softening and bending a thermoplastic). If so then no; this is a cured , rigid sheet, its shape cannot be changed other than cutting it.You would then need to vacuum bag the prepreg in a mould and cure it in an oven. Because there's quite a few materials and bits of equipment involved in this process and you are interested in curing your own prepress then we have, put together a Prepreg Carbon fiber Starter Kit which includes everything you would need.4.Are The Double-A Sided Sheets A Quasi Layup?
No, the sheets are made up of fibers orientated at the 0 and 90 degree orientations so are not quasi-isoptropic.5.Can You Tell Me What Weave Pattern These Sheets Come In?
The weave pattern of the sheets is a 2/2 twill weave.6.What Is The Maximum Temperature This Sheets Can Withstand?
These sheets have a maximum service temperature of 100°C.7.Is It Possible To Apply A Very Slight Bend, For Example, 5 Degree, To The Sheet?
All the thickness of sheets we sell will accept being bent in small angles over a radius without a problem. The thinner sheets can be bent over a radius by a considerable amount without failure. The sheet will try to return to its original flat shape so for a curved panel, it would need to be bonded or fixed in plate to hold that shape.Due to the nature of the composite structure, any such bending needs to be over a radius. Trying to create a sharp bend or f old will cause the sheets to fracture and fail around the fold edge.8.Are Larger Sheets Available? Like 950x1000mm Or Even 2000mm?
In double-sided carbon fiber sheet we don't have sheets larger than 580x580mm-this is because of the way the double-sided sheets are manufactured. However, we do now have our new single sided high strength sheets which are also 100% carbon fiber and have the same mechanical properties as the double sided sheet but is available in sheet sizes up to 2m×1m.9.Can You See Light Through The 0.25mm Pre-Preg Sheet?
The 0.25mm sheet is made from a single layer of pre-preg car bon fiber. The vast majority of the sheet is a uniform carbon fiber finish,however there is occasionally a small gap in the weave pattern that will allow light to pass through the sheet.
