The HexTow IM9 24K is an intermediate modulus (IM) fiber with 24,000 filaments and boasts an impressive average tow tensile strength above 6,300 MPa, a modulus of 298 GPa and strain of 1.9%. This upgrade is 12% more robust in terms of tensile strength than Hexcel's standard IM7 fiber that is extensively used in commercial aircraft engine fan blades and additional aerospace applications.
Being an affordable high-value composite, HexTow IM9 24K is especially suitable for constructing primary and secondary aerospace vehicle structures. Its high performance, combined with the enhanced fiber line throughput and productivity via a 24K tow size, presents a convincing value proposition compared to other commercially obtainable IM fibers.
Hexcel Corp. Stamford, CT/USA, anticipates qualifying the newly launched HexTow IM9 24K carbon fiber with various toughened epoxies, thermosetting bismaleimide (BMI), out of autoclave (OOA) and other superior performance resin systems. The steel wire company is concurrently generating composite data in a variety of resin systems that will soon be available to customers.
