PURPOSE: To obtain a woven fabric for a carbon-fiber reinforced plastic(CFRP), having a sufficient cover factor, a slight extent of bowed weft yarns and excellent in compressive strength, etc., by binding both selvedge parts of a carbon fiber woven fabric with a small number of binding yarns and then carrying out the opening treatment of the woven fabric with water jets.

CONSTITUTION: One to ten binding yarns for preventing weft yarns 1 from fraying are woven into both selvedge parts of a carbon fiber woven fabric to carry out the opening treatment of the woven fabric with water jets. The basis weight of the woven fabric is preferably about 140-220g/m2 and the woven fabric having ≥95% cover factor and ≤5% ratio of the extent of bowed weft yarns to the full width of the woven fabric can stably be obtained.
