6K Carbon Fiber Fabric – 8HS Weave
Ultra-Drapable 8 Harness Satin (8HS) 6K Carbon Fiber Fabric for High-Strength Structural Laminates & Complex Molds
6K Carbon Fiber Fabric – 8HS Weave is a premium woven reinforcement material manufactured from 6,000-filament (6K) carbon fiber tows, arranged in an advanced 8 Harness Satin (8HS) weave structure.
The 8HS satin weave provides maximum drapability, extremely low fiber crimp, superior resin flow, and excellent laminate surface quality, making it ideal for highly contoured composite parts, complex molds, thick structural laminates, marine reinforcement, industrial composite components, and tooling applications.
Among satin weaves, 8HS offers the highest level of mold conformity, reducing bridging and improving laminate consistency in demanding production environments.
Key Performance Advantages
- Tow Size: 6K (6,000 filaments per tow)
- 8 Harness Satin (8HS) Weave Construction
- Maximum Drapability for Highly Curved & Complex Shapes
- Extremely Low Fiber Crimp for Efficient Load Transfer
- High Tensile Strength & Stiffness
- Balanced Bidirectional Reinforcement (0° / 90°)
- Superior Resin Flow & Wet-Out (Infusion Friendly)
- Reduced Print-Through & Improved Surface Finish
- Efficient Laminate Build-Up (Reduced Ply Count)
- Electrically Conductive (EMI Shielding Capable)
8HS weave is ideal for manufacturers who require heavy-duty structural reinforcement with the best possible mold conformity.
