3K 200gsm Carbon Fiber Fabric RFQ Guide in one minute.
FRP HOME product FRPH-WCF-3K200-T, based on source style TCT-3K-200, is a 3K 200 g/m2 twill woven carbon reinforcement. The current TDS records 0.20 mm nominal dry-fabric thickness, 5 x 5 yarns per 10 mm in warp and weft, 1000-1500 mm available width and 100 m nominal roll length. A complete RFQ must still confirm fiber grade and sizing, selected width, roll length, surface sample, resin process, quantity and final application.

What the terms mean.
The 3K designation describes an approximate 3,000-filament tow, while 200gsm describes fabric areal weight before resin. Twill describes the woven architecture and diagonal visual pattern. These terms do not define cured laminate thickness, resin content or final part performance, which depend on the complete material and process specification.
Key differences for material selection.
| RFQ point | FRP HOME reference | What the buyer should confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Product identity | FRPH-WCF-3K200-T; source style TCT-3K-200 | Product code, approved specification revision and required batch documents |
| Construction | 3K, 200 g/m2, twill; 5 x 5 per 10 mm nominal | Fiber grade, sizing, areal-weight tolerance and weave appearance |
| Dry thickness | 0.20 mm nominal dry-fabric reference | Do not use this value as cured laminate thickness |
| Width and roll | 1000-1500 mm available width; 100 m nominal roll | Selected usable width, roll length, core, labels and packing |
| Surface target | Appearance approved by sample | Cosmetic first ply or general reinforcement and the accepted reference sample |
| Process | Vacuum infusion, wet layup or compression molding listed in the TDS | Resin system, process conditions and representative trial requirements |
How engineers and buyers should choose.
Use product code FRPH-WCF-3K200-T and source style TCT-3K-200 when the documented 3K 200 g/m2 twill construction is required.
Approve surface appearance with a physical sample when the woven layer will remain visible; weave name alone does not define the finished cosmetic result.
Treat 0.20 mm as nominal dry-fabric thickness only. Cured laminate thickness depends on ply count, compaction, resin content and process.
Match the selected width within the 1000-1500 mm reference range and the confirmed roll length to the cutting plan to reduce seams and offcut waste.
Confirm fiber grade, sizing and resin process before ordering, and use a representative trial when compatibility or surface quality is critical.
Keep rolls dry, covered and protected from crushing, and approve final tolerances, packing and batch-document requirements in the order specification.

Common technical questions.
Is 3K 200gsm twill carbon fiber fabric suitable for visible parts?
It is commonly selected for a recognizable woven carbon surface, but the final appearance also depends on layup, resin, tooling, cure, clear coat and surface finishing.
Does 200gsm determine cured laminate thickness?
No. It describes dry fabric areal weight. The TDS also lists 0.20 mm as a nominal dry-fabric reference, not cured laminate thickness. Cured thickness depends on compaction, resin content, ply count, process and laminate design.
What does 5 x 5 per 10 mm mean?
It is the nominal fiber count recorded in the TDS for warp and weft over 10 mm. It describes the woven construction and is not a tensile-strength or laminate-performance rating.
Are 1000-1500 mm width and 100 m roll length guaranteed for every order?
No. They are the current available-width range and nominal roll-length reference in the TDS. The selected width, roll length, tolerances and packing must be confirmed in the quotation and order documents.
What should I send for a 3K carbon fabric quotation?
Send tow size, areal weight, weave, width, roll length, resin process, surface requirement, quantity, destination and final application. A sample or reference image can help clarify the visual target.
