High-Flat 160g Carbon Fiber Precursor Roving

>> Carbon Fiber Roving (plain) is weaved by carbon fiber through 0° and 90°. According to different requirements, customers can choose different density.

Basic Specifications: This carbon fiber precursor roving features a standard width of 1000mm and a weight of 160g/m², with a roll length of 100m per roll—ideal for both large-scale production and small-batch customization. Its woven structure, crafted through precise 0° and 90° fiber arrangement, ensures consistent fiber distribution across the entire fabric.

Density & Thickness Options: To adapt to diverse project needs, multiple density variants are available. For example, the 65g/m² option has a thickness of 0.07mm and a grid width of 25mm, while the 200g/m² variant (offered in both plain and twill weaves) has a 0.20mm thickness and 8mm grid width. The CWZP160 model, in particular, has a tow width of 10mm, fiber density of 100±3 roots/m (for both warp and weft), and a breaking strength of ≥5700N/50mm, guaranteeing structural stability under heavy loads.

Fabric Advantages: Unlike conventional carbon fiber fabrics, this precursor roving undergoes non-destructive expansion before warp and weft knitting. This unique process delivers uniform tension during weaving, effectively solving deviation and deformation issues common in the prepreg process. The result is a fabric with a smooth, aesthetically pleasing surface, minimal fiber bundle buckling, reduced "grid" phenomenon, and lower gap rate—all of which boost the fabric’s surface flatness and enable higher fiber volume content in composite materials.

FAQ

What industries can benefit from the CWZP160-1000 Carbon Fiber Precursor Roving?

It is widely used in aerospace (for lightweight structural parts), automobile manufacturing (interior/exterior trims, hoods, roofs), rail transit (train body components), ships and yachts (hulls, decks), and high-end sports and leisure (bicycle frames, helmets, rackets, paddles). Its versatility also makes it suitable for luggage (e.g., violin cases, business bags) and drone structures.

How should I clean and maintain the carbon fiber fabric made from this roving?

• Cleaning: Promptly remove dust and stains using a special carbon fiber cleaner. Avoid acidic or alkaline cleaners, as they can damage the fabric’s surface and degrade its performance.

• Storage: Store the fabric in a dry, well-ventilated environment away from humidity and high temperatures. Long-term exposure to sunlight should also be avoided, as it may cause surface cracking and fading, reducing both aesthetics and service life.

Is this product compatible with other fiber materials for hybrid composites?

Yes. It can be combined with materials like Kevlar fiber or basalt fiber to create hybrid fabrics. This flexibility allows manufacturers to tailor composite properties (e.g., enhancing impact resistance with Kevlar or improving heat resistance with basalt) for specific application needs.

Suitable Production Process

The CWZP160-1000 Carbon Fiber Precursor Roving is compatible with a wide range of manufacturing techniques, ensuring flexibility across industries:

• Prepreg Process: Perfect for producing high-precision composite parts (such as aerospace components) where consistent resin content and fiber alignment are critical.

• Vacuum Infusion Process: Ideal for large, complex structures like ship hulls or wind turbine blades, as it allows for thorough resin impregnation and reduces voids in the final product.

• Hand Lay-up: A cost-effective choice for custom projects (e.g., prototype bicycle frames or small-batch auto parts) that require manual shaping and adjustment.

• Molding & Holding Pressure Tank Processes: Suitable for high-pressure, high-temperature applications (such as high-performance sports equipment) that demand exceptional dimensional accuracy and mechanical strength.

Characteristics

• Environmental Resistance: The roving boasts excellent high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. It maintains its performance in harsh environments, from marine saltwater exposure (for ships and yachts) to high-temperature industrial settings.

• Functional Versatility: Beyond structural use, it offers additional benefits like electrical conductivity, electric heating capabilities, and infrared radiation properties. These features expand its application to specialized fields, such as conductive components in electronics or heat-generating elements in industrial equipment.

• Fatigue Resistance: Its robust fiber structure resists wear and tear from repeated stress, prolonging the service life of end products—an essential trait for items like drone frames, fishing rods, and ski cores that undergo frequent use.

	Clean the surface of the carbon fiber Fabric During use, dust and stains on the surface of carbon fiber Fabric should be cleaned in time, and special cleaners should be used to avoid acidic or alkaline cleaners.
	Prevent carbon fiber Fabric  From being exposed to sunlight for a long time. Long exposure to sunlight will make the surface of carbon fiber Fabric crack and fade, affecting the beauty and service life.
	When storing carbon fiber Fabric Attention should be paid to avoid humidity, high temperature and other environments. When storing carbon fiber Fabric, avoid humidity, high temperature and other environments, and keep dry and ventilated.

In summary, carbon fiber Fabric has a long service life, but long-term use also needs to pay attention to some matters. During use, attention should be paid to prevent damage to the surface of the carbon fiber Fabric, to avoid environmental effects such as high temperature and high humidity, and to check the use regularly. 

In terms of maintenance,attention should be paid to cleaning the surface of the carbon fiber Fabric, avoiding long-term exposure to the sun, and properly storing the carbon fiber Fabric.
