6K Carbon Fiber Fabric – 5HS (Harness Satin) Weave
Heavy-Duty 5 Harness Satin (5HS) 6K Carbon Fiber Fabric for High-Strength Laminates & Superior Drapability
6K Carbon Fiber Fabric – 5HS (5 Harness Satin) Weave is a premium woven reinforcement material manufactured from 6,000-filament (6K) carbon fiber tows, woven in a 5 Harness Satin (5HS) weave structure.
The 5HS satin weave offers an excellent combination of high mechanical performance, reduced fiber crimp, improved resin flow, and superior drapability compared to plain weave fabrics. This makes it ideal for curved composite parts, medium-to-thick structural laminates, marine structures, automotive reinforcement, industrial composite panels, and tooling applications.
Compared to 4HS, 5HS provides even better mold conformity, helping manufacturers reduce bridging and achieve more consistent laminate quality on complex shapes.
Key Performance Advantages
- Tow Size: 6K (6,000 filaments per tow)
- Weave Style: 5 Harness Satin (5HS)
- Superior Drapability for Curved & Complex Shapes
- Reduced Fiber Crimp for Improved Load Transfer
- High Tensile Strength & Stiffness
- Balanced Bidirectional Reinforcement (0° / 90°)
- Excellent Resin Flow & Wet-Out (Infusion Friendly)
- Improved Surface Finish & Reduced Print-Through
- Efficient Laminate Build-Up (Reduced Ply Count)
- Electrically Conductive (EMI Shielding Capable)
This fabric is ideal for manufacturers needing structural carbon reinforcement with improved processing on curved molds.
Fabric Construction Details
- Fiber Type: PAN-based Carbon Fiber
- Tow Size: 6K
- Weave Style: 5 Harness Satin (5HS)
- Fiber Orientation: Bidirectional (Warp & Weft)
- Finish / Sizing: Epoxy-compatible (custom sizing available)
5HS satin weave provides better flexibility than plain weave, helping reduce bridging in contoured laminates.
