6K Carbon Fiber Fabric 8HS (Harness Satin) Weave

Premium 6K 8HS Carbon Fiber Fabric for Maximum Drapability, Smooth Surface Laminates & High-Strength Composite Parts

6K Carbon Fiber Fabric 8HS (Harness Satin) Weave is a premium woven carbon fiber reinforcement fabric manufactured from 6,000 filament (6K) carbon fiber tows, woven in an advanced 8 Harness Satin (8HS) weave structure.

The 8HS weave is designed to provide:

  • Maximum drapability for complex curves and deep contours
  • Smooth laminate surface finish for premium composite parts
  • Reduced fiber crimp for improved mechanical efficiency

Compared to plain weave and twill weave fabrics, 6K 8HS carbon cloth conforms better to complex molds and delivers a cleaner cosmetic finish, making it ideal for visible carbon applications and high-performance composite laminates.

It is widely used in automotive performance parts, marine structural laminates, aerospace secondary structures, industrial composite panels, and premium sporting goods.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Tow Size: 6K (excellent balance of strength + surface finish)
  • Weave Type: 8HS (8 Harness Satin / Harness Satin)
  • Maximum drapability for complex shapes and curved molds
  • Smooth premium laminate surface finish
  • Reduced fiber crimp for better load transfer and stiffness
  • Excellent resin wet-out & flow (infusion friendly)
  • Suitable for vacuum infusion, vacuum bagging, RTM & prepreg
  • Compatible with epoxy, vinyl ester & polyester resin systems
  • Ideal for structural laminates + cosmetic visible carbon parts

What is 8HS (Harness Satin) Weave?

8HS (8 Harness Satin) is a satin weave construction where carbon fiber tows float over multiple yarns before interlacing. This creates:

  • Very smooth surface finish
  • Excellent flexibility and drape
  • Premium cosmetic carbon appearance
  • Easier lay-up on complex molds

Because of its long float structure, 8HS is commonly chosen for complex composite components and luxury visible carbon laminates.
