Weight/length = 0.446 g/m. HexTow® IM7 (HS-CP-5000) carbon fiber is a continuous, high performance, intermediate modulus, PAN based fiber. The fiber has been surface treated and can be sized to improve its interlaminar shear properties, handling characteristics, and structural properties. IM7 (HS-CP-5000) fiber has shear properties equivalent to those of standard AS type fibers. It is suggested for use in prepregging and filament winding. The properties of IM7 (HS-CP-5000) fiber, such as higher tensile strength and modulus, as well as good shear strength, allow structural designers to achieve both higher safety margins for both stiffness and strength critical applications.Information provided by Hexcel Corporation.
