6K Carbon Fiber Fabric – 5HS Weave
Heavy-Duty 5 Harness Satin (5HS) 6K Carbon Fiber Fabric for Maximum Drapability & High-Strength Structural Laminates
6K Carbon Fiber Fabric – 5HS Weave is a premium woven reinforcement material manufactured from 6,000-filament (6K) carbon fiber tows, arranged in a 5 Harness Satin (5HS) weave structure.
The 5HS satin weave provides excellent drapability, reduced fiber crimp, improved resin flow, and smoother laminate surface quality compared to plain and twill weaves. This makes it ideal for curved composite components, complex molds, thick structural laminates, marine reinforcement, industrial composite parts, and tooling applications.
Compared to 4HS, 5HS offers even better conformity over curves, making it a preferred choice for manufacturers producing high-strength composite parts with complex geometries.
Key Performance Advantages
- Tow Size: 6K (6,000 filaments per tow)
- 5 Harness Satin (5HS) Weave Construction
- 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
- Improved Surface Finish & Reduced Print-Through
- Efficient Laminate Build-Up (Reduced Ply Count)
- Electrically Conductive (EMI Shielding Capable)
5HS weave is ideal for manufacturers who need heavy-duty structural reinforcement with better mold conformity.
