HexTow® HM54 carbon fiber is a continuous, high performance, high modulus, PAN based fiber available in 12,000 (12K) filament count tows. This fiber has been surface treated and sized to improve its interlaminar shear properties, handling characteristics, and structural properties. It is suggested for use in premium sporting goods, aerospace, space, and industrial applications. The unique properties of HexTow® HM54 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.
