Carbon fibre tow is available in many different sizes but most commonly in 1k, 3k, 12k and 24k; the 'k' number refers to the number of thousands of individual carbon fibre filaments that are bunched together to make up the tow; so a 3k tow is 3, individual fibres and a 12k tow is made up of 12, individual fibres.

Each crimp in the fabric has a very small area where excess resin will accumulate. They are very small amounts but in one yard you reduce over 21, of these super small resin pools. In addition to the light weight advantages, you also have very minimal fiber crimp which will yield parts as strong as a uni directional laminate. TeXtreme fabrics come in three different strengths. This material has been lightly coated on one side with a formulated epoxy binder to hold the material together for handling and cutting.

The weight of the fabric does not include the weight of the binder, however the weight of the binder can be included in the amount of epoxy needed for the laminate.
