Carbon Fiber 1K Tow Overview

1K carbon fiber tow contains 1,000 monofilaments per tow, producing the thinnest and lightest fabric weight in our carbon fiber product line. 1K is favored for applications demanding ultra-lightweight reinforcement, thin laminates, and high-quality surface finish — such as aerospace interior panels, sporting goods, musical instruments, and decorative composite parts.

GX400-1K Carbon Fiber Tow — Wet-Spun | JiLin Tangu

GX400-1K wet-spun PAN-based carbon fiber tow — general-purpose wet-spun grade

Tensile strength 4,200–4,500 MPa · Modulus ≥235 GPa

Low density 1.77±0.03 g/cm³ · soft handle & excellent resin wettability

For prepreg, vacuum infusion (VARTM), and composite reinforcement

Carbon fiber is a continuous filament with excellent mechanical properties, low density, heat and corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, a small thermal expansion coefficient, and good electrical and thermal conductivity — properties that translate directly into lighter, stronger, and more durable composite parts.
