Carbón seco vs. carbón húmedo

When it comes to carbon fiber, the difference is more than just skin deep. Understanding the two primary types — dry carbon and wet carbon — is key to knowing why Karvo exclusively uses dry carbon fiber in all our products.

Dry Carbon (Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber)

Dry carbon is made using pre-impregnated carbon fiber sheets that are precisely laid into molds and cured in an autoclave under high heat and pressure. This process eliminates excess resin and air pockets, resulting in a lighter, stronger, and more dimensionally accurate component.
 • ✅ Ultra-lightweight construction
 • ✅ Aerospace-grade strength and rigidity
 • ✅ Flawless weave consistency
 • ✅ Precision fitment and finish
 • ✅ UV-resistant and long-lasting gloss

Wet Carbon (Hand-Laid Carbon Fiber)

Wet carbon is created by manually applying resin to dry fabric inside an open mold, then letting it cure without pressure. This method is less expensive but often results in heavier parts with lower strength and inconsistent finishes.
 • ❌ Heavier due to excess resin
 • ❌ Lower structural integrity
 • ❌ Weave distortion and air bubbles
 • ❌ Prone to yellowing or fading over time

Why Karvo Chooses Dry Carbon

At Karvo, we don’t cut corners. Every piece we produce is made from 100% dry carbon fiber — the same material used in high-end motorsport and aerospace applications. It’s the only choice for those who demand performance, precision, and perfection.
