HexTow® HM63 (Industrial)

HexTow® HM63 carbon fiber is a continuous, high strength, high performance, high modulus, PAN based carbon fiber available in 6,000 (6K) and 12,000 (12K) filament count tows. This fiber has been surface treated and sized to improve its handling characteristics, interlaminar shear strength, compressive strength, and structural properties. It is suggested for use in premium sporting goods and industrial applications. The unique properties of HexTow® HM63 fiber, such as higher tensile strength and modulus, as well as shear and compressive strength, allow structural designers to achieve both higher safety margins for both stiffness and strength critical applications. HexTow® HM63 is International Monohull Open Class Association (IMOCA) certified/ qualified.
