Carbon Fiber Veneer Sheet

Manufactured by Altiveners in Belgium. Super-thin flexible carbon fiber veneer with a high gloss finish on one side. This thin layer of genuine carbon fiber sheet is easily cut and shaped and can be bonded to existing surfaces such as shop-fittings, architectural features, exhibition displays, dashboards, desks and more.

Available with or without a 3M self-adhesive backing in range of sizes up to 2sqm (10.8sqft).

Extra thin genuine carbon fiber veneer suitable for a range of applications where the appearance of genuine carbon fiber is required in a format that can be bonded to the surface of other materials to create an attractive, high gloss veneer surface.

The sheet is designed to sit very flat having minimal variation in thickness and is available with a peel-ply finish to the reverse - perfect for bonding to other materials tion.

The 'A-side' of the sheet has the classic 2/2 twill, 3k woven carbon fiber appearance with a pin-hole free high gloss finish. The reverse of the sheet features an even textured 'peel ply' finish.

Typical Uses

This flexible carbon fiber sheet is ideal for use in furniture making, architectural detailing or adding genuine carbon fiber appearance to just about any flat surface.

At approximately 0.25mm (0.013"), the veneer can easilly follow single plane curves (like the radiused edge of a desk for example) but, in common with most carbon surfaces, it will eventually break if bent too far.

Further Information

Cutting, Shaping & Finishing

As with all carbon fiber and composites (like fiberglass, carbon kevlar etc) good results can be achieved for cutting, shaping and finishing this sheet using regular workshop tools like hacksaws, jigsaws and wet-and-dry. In fact, this ultra thin veneer can actually be cut using strong scissors. Specialist tools can, however, make lighter work of the job and produce better results.

Laminate Composition

This carbon fiber sticker sheet is resin infused from a single layer of top quality 2/2 Twill 210gsm carbon fiber. This is the same fabric used in our other infused sheet. Further details along with the fabric specification and fiber type, can be seen on the Specification tab.

The matrix used is a high performance epoxy resin which offers excellent mechanicals, clarity and improved UV stability. The high temperature cure maximises the mechanical strength properties and results in a Tg (glass transition) of 80°C (176°F).

To achieve maximum stability and flatness in the sheets, we used 'balanced' laminates for all sheet thicknesses. This means that the fibre type, weight and weave is symmetrical from the front to the back ply.

Dimensional Tolerance and Sheet Weight

Thickness tolerance and weight for our High Strength Carbon Fibre Sheet varies with thickness, as follows:

Thickness	Thickness & Tolerance	Weight kg/m²
1mm	0.9mm +/-0.2mm	1.32
2mm	1.7mm +/-0.2mm	2.80
3mm	2.8mm +/-0.2mm	4.11
4mm	4.0mm +/-0.2mm	5.84

The dimensional tolerance on length and width is + - 2.5mm

How to Cut and Shape

This carbon fibre sheet can easily be cut and finished to a high standard using simple workshop tools. Cutting and finishing carbon fibre can also be perfectly safe if you follow some basic safety precautions.

Manufacturing Contracts

Our sophisticated manufacturing process and facilities mean Altiveners can produce carbon fibre or composite sheet to almost any specification. We currently supply specialist carbon fibre sheet to many famous brands from the world of fashion, high-end audio, F1, motorsport and marine sectors.
