· Fiberite HyE 997/AS4 12k

AS4 12k (Hexcel) carbon fibre (12,000-filament tow) in a 997 (Fiberite) epoxy matrix, supplied as tape. Carbon/epoxy is the primary structural composite of modern aerospace: the highest stiffness-to-weight of the common systems, with well-characterised and predictable behaviour. It is used for wing and empennage skins, spars and ribs, fuselage panels and control surfaces — anywhere weight is the governing cost. The handbook characterises it from -65 °F to 180 °F, consistent with ambient and mildly elevated service. MatWorld carries 3 tensile, compressive, shear and bearing curves for this system, digitised from MIL-HDBK-17-2F Volume 2 (US Government work, public domain).

Quality & Standards

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
