Carbon fiber fabric Hexcel Composites

Hexcel manufactures a complete line of HexForceTM woven and non-crimp fabrics from carbon fiber. The range includes traditional fabrics (3K, 6K, 12K, 24K), flat-tow 12K and heatset-unit fabrics, plus non-crimp, multiaxial reinforcements.

Hexcel's carbon fabrics meet the specification requriements of BMS 9-8 as well as other major aerospace manufacturers' specifications for carbon fabric. These fabrics use fibers that are produced under stringently controlled conditions, extensive testing and documentation.

Our commercial carbon fabrics utilise many of the same carbon fibers that have been produced with less extensive testing and documentation. Standard Modulus carbon fiber, supplied to the commercial market, yields typical property values of 530KSI (GPA) for tensile strength and 34 MSI for tensile modulus. Higher performance carbon fabrics with increased tensile and modulus properties are available from Hexcel for special applications.
