3K Carbon Fiber Fabric – 8HS Weave
Ultra-Premium 8 Harness Satin (8HS) 3K Carbon Fiber Fabric for Maximum Drapability & Superior Surface Finish
3K Carbon Fiber Fabric – 8HS Weave is an advanced woven reinforcement material manufactured from 3,000-filament (3K) carbon fiber tows, arranged in an 8 Harness Satin (8HS) weave pattern.
The 8HS weave offers exceptional drapability, extremely low fiber crimp, and an ultra-smooth, luxurious carbon fiber surface appearance, making it ideal for highly contoured composite parts, complex molds, and visible carbon fiber components where surface quality and conformity are critical.
Among all satin weaves, 8HS provides the highest level of mold conformity and cosmetic finish.
