Material Notes:

HexTow™ AS4C carbon fiber is a continuous, high strength, high strain, PAN based fiber available in 3,000 (3K), 6,000 (6K), and 12,000 (12K) filament count tows. This fiber has been surface treated and can be sized to improve its interlaminar shear properties, handling characteristics, and structural properties. Suggested for use in weaving, prepregging, filament winding, pultrusion, and molding compounds.Information provided by Hexcel
