Carbon fibreHigh-strength, lightweight reinforcement for the most demanding structural applications. Allbase supplies carbon fibre across aerospace, automotive, marine and industrial sectors, sourced from leading manufacturers, with full technical and specification support.View Multiaxial fabricsMultiaxial fabrics place the fibre exactly where the load runs. Layers of unidirectional glass or carbon are laid at set angles and stitched together, so the reinforcement goes into the mould already oriented rather than being built up ply by ply. Fabricators reach for them where laminate performance and layup speed both matter, from wind blades and marine hulls to structural panels.View Biax 300 ±90° Glass FabricBiax 300 is a high-strength E-glass fabric with orthogonal fibre layers, providing balanced tensile strength in both the warp and weft directions. Non-crimp-stitched construction compatible with epoxy, Vinylester, and Polyester resin systems, ideal for structural laminates, panels, and load-bearing composite components.BIX-30090View
Specification supportSpecification decisions made early shape weight, durability, cost and the certification path of an entire project. Getting them wrong is expensive to unwind once tooling, sourcing and approvals are locked in.View Technical consultancySome jobs need more than a data sheet. A bonded joint that fails on test, a laminate schedule that is too heavy, a new product that has to ship on a fixed date. The fastest route through is usually a short, focused conversation with a specialist who has seen the problem before.View Product sourcingVolume programmes and long-running production lines do not need another link in the chain. They need an accountable sourcing route, with the right price, the right lead time and quality records that survive audit.View

Best way to cut dry carbon fabric without it fraying?Every time I cut a piece of dry carbon fabric it frays at the edges and I end up with loose fibres everywhere. Is there a proper way to cut it cleanly?Carbon fibreView How do I stop the weave distorting over compound curves?When I lay carbon over a shape with curves in two directions, the weave ends up skewed and the pattern looks off. How do I keep it looking straight?Carbon fibreView Does dry carbon fibre fabric have a shelf life?I've got most of a roll of dry carbon fabric left over from a job. Does it go off like prepreg does, or can I keep it for the next project?Carbon fibreView Do I really need to vacuum bag prepreg?I'm only making a small carbon fibre part. Can I skip the vacuum bagging stage, or is it an essential part of the process?PrepregsView How do I work out how many layers of carbon a part needs?I'm planning my first structural carbon part and I'm not sure how to decide how many layers to use. Is there a rule of thumb, or does it depend entirely on the…Carbon fibreView How do I drill carbon fibre without it splintering or delaminating?I need to drill a few holes in a cured carbon panel for fixings, but I'm worried about splitting the back face. What's the trick to a clean hole?Carbon fibreView Is carbon fibre dust dangerous to sand, and what precautions do I need?I'll be sanding and finishing a few carbon parts at home and wanted to check how careful I need to be with the dust. Is it hazardous, and what protection…Carbon fibreView When should I use unidirectional carbon instead of woven fabric?I've always used woven carbon fabric, but I keep seeing unidirectional mentioned for structural parts. When is it actually worth switching to unidirectional,…Carbon fibreView Can I use prepreg without an autoclave?I'd like to start using prepreg carbon fibre, but I don't have access to an autoclave. Can I still make good quality parts with a vacuum bag and an oven, or is…PrepregsView Why do I keep getting pinholes in the clear coat over carbon?I'm trying to get that deep glossy finish on my carbon parts, but I keep getting tiny pinholes in the clear coat. What's causing them, and how do I get the wet…Carbon fibreView Is a carbon-aramid hybrid worth it for an impact-prone part?I'm making a guard that's likely to take the odd knock. Someone suggested a carbon-aramid hybrid weave rather than plain carbon. Is that actually worth doing,…Carbon fibreView Do I need to isolate carbon fibre from aluminium fittings?I'm bolting aluminium brackets onto a carbon part and someone warned me about corrosion where the two meet. Is that a real concern, and if so how do I deal…Carbon fibreView
