Carbon Fibre Reinforcement Tapes

Carbon fibre tapes are high-performance reinforcement materials designed to provide localised strength, stiffness and reinforcement within composite structures.

Available in both woven and unidirectional constructions, carbon tapes are manufactured using carbon fibre tows woven or stitched into narrow-width reinforcement formats with stable edges for improved handling and placement during composite lay-up.

These materials are commonly used where targeted reinforcement is required without adding unnecessary weight, making them ideal for structural strengthening, edge reinforcement and complex composite assemblies.

Carbon tapes are widely used across aerospace, automotive, marine, motorsport andindustrial composite applications where lightweight performance and structural integrity are critical.

Key Benefits

Applications

Carbon fibre tapes are commonly used across advanced composite applications including:

  • Localised reinforcement of composite structures

  • Edge and joint reinforcement

  • Automotive and motorsport components

  • Aerospace composite assemblies

  • Marine composite structures

  • Sporting goods and performance products

  • Industrial composite tooling and profiles

  • Tubular and structural composite sections

Their narrow-width construction makes them particularly effective where reinforcement is  required in specific highstress areas without increasing laminate weight across the entire component.
