HTR40 F22 24K 1550tex

Tenax®-A HTR40 F22 24K 1550tex is a high strength carbon fiber for use in today's most demanding applications, particularly where cost performance is paramount. This is not an aerospace grade, and Toho Tenax reserves the right to upgrade manufacturing processes/sites and raw materials without notice, in compliance with our approach on continuous product improvement. The fiber is produced from poly-[acrylonitrile] (PAN) precursor and is surface treated to promote adhesion to epoxy matrix polymers. The sizing materials are designed to aid in handling.

RECOMMENDED STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE

A.    HTR40 Carbon Fiber Properties

    Filament tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, coefficient of expansion, electric and thermal conductivities and yield are inherent properties of the fiber and have indefinite shelf life.

B.    HTR40 Carbon Fiber Processing

    Typically, the original processing characteristics of the yarn will be essentially constant for at least one year from date of delivery. The product should be stored indoors. The recommended storage conditions are 40°F-77°F (5°C-25°C) and less than 50 percent RH. Direct exposure to sunlight or rain should be avoided. The shrink wrap should not be removed until immediately prior to use.
    If the roving is stored at high temperatures and/or high humidity conditions, it may become difficult to process. Roving that stiffens during storage should still be useable. However, a thorough evaluation of the processing characteristics (e.g., resin wet out, spreadability) relative to the customer's operation is strongly recommended.
