Carbon Fibre 6K 2x2 Twill
The specification “6K 2x2 Carbon Fibre TW 40" 320gsm” typically means: 6K = Each carbon fiber tow contains approximately 6,000 filaments. 2x2 TW = 2×2 twill weave, where each tow goes over 2 and under 2 adjacent tows, creating the classic diagonal carbon fiber pattern. 40" = Fabric width of 40 inches (about 1,016 mm). 320 gsm = Fabric weight of 320 grams per square meter, indicating a medium-weight reinforcement fabric. Typical Characteristics Attractive cosmetic twill appearance. Good drapability for molds and curved surfaces. Commonly used for: Automotive panels Marine components Sporting goods Composite molds and tooling Aerospace and industrial composite parts Approximate Thickness A 320 gsm 6K twill fabric typically yields a laminate ply thickness of roughly 0.35-0.45 mm per layer, depending on resin content and processing method.
