380 gsm carbon fibre cloth is a heavyweight reinforcement used where strength and stiffness are required with fewer layers.
Compared to lighter carbon fabrics, it builds thickness faster and is suited to structural laminates and load‑bearing components.

Features:

  • 2×2 twill weave with diagonal pattern
  • Suitable for structural laminates

Technical Snapshot:

  • Weight: 380gsm
  • Weave: 2×2 twill
  • Fibre type: Carbon fibre (3K where specified)
  • Typical use: Structural reinforcement
  • Resin compatibility: Epoxy, Polyester, Vinyl Ester
  • Brand: Hexcel

Quick Tips:

  • Use in combination with lighter cloths where a better surface finish or tighter radii are required
  • Heavier cloth builds strength more quickly, reducing the number of layers required
  • 380gsm or lighter (200gsm or 245gsm)
    • 380gsm is heavier and stiffer than 200–245 gsm cloth, making it better for structural work.
    • Lighter weights are easier to shape and are typically used for cosmetic skins and detailed laminates.

A few words on safety:

  • Carbon fibre can irritate skin and dust should not be inhaled.  Wear gloves and a dust mask when cutting or sanding.
