Material Notes:

HexTow™ IM9 carbon fiber is a continuous, ultrahigh performance, intermediate modulus, PAN based fiber available in 12,000 (12K) filament count tows. The fiber has been surface treated and can be sized to improve its interlaminar shear properties, handling characteristics, and structural properties. HexTow™ IM9 fiber has shear properties equivalent to those of standard AS type fibers. It is suggested for use in weaving, braiding, prepregging and filament.The unique properties of HexTow™ IM9 fiber, such as ultrahigh tensile strength and good compressive strength, as well as good shear strength, allow structural designers to achieve both higher safety margins for both stiffness and strength critical applications.Information provided by Hexcel
