Hexcel's new HexTow® HM54 carbon fiber is a continuous, high-performance, high-modulus 12K PAN-based fiber. The fiber has been treated with surface treatment and sizing to improve the interlaminar shear characteristics, processability and structural characteristics. Used in advanced sporting goods, aerospace and industrial applications.
HexTow®HM54 fiber has high tensile strength and modulus, as well as good shear strength, so that structural designers can achieve a higher margin in rigidity and strength.
On August 26, 2020, the US Hexcel official website announced:
True Temperate Sports is a world-renowned major designer and manufacturer of golf clubs, choosing to cooperate with Hexcel to develop its latest product line HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX. HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX is the first golf club to use Hexcel’s new HexTow® HM54 carbon fiber and combine it with the high-strength HexTow® IM2C carbon fiber to provide the ideal stiffness and stability required by engineers to embed it in the HZRDUS shaft in.
Tom Haulik, Hexcel’s global fiber sales director, said: “True Temperate has always been a global leader in golf club manufacturing, so we are very pleased to see our new HexTow HM54 fiber used in the latest HZRDUS shaft. HexTow HM54 is used in high-performance golf clubs. (Such as HZRDUS Smoke RDX) is perfectly applied."
