Hexcel also is promoting HexPly M92, the latest generation 125°C curing prepreg that combines superior hot wet performance up to 115°C, self-adhesion, high toughness, fire-resistance, low exotherm and a long out/tack life.
HexTow HM63, the fibre with the highest tensile strength and that provides outstanding translation of fibre properties in a composite, including superior interlaminar shear and compression shear strength, will be presented.
On the Hexcel stand, visitors will see an out-of-autoclave filament wound carbon composite structure manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space using Hexcel’s HexPly M56 and HexTow HM63 carbon fibre towpreg.
Hexcel’s HiTape advanced dry carbon fibre reinforcements designed for the automated manufacture of preforms at very high deposition rates, is also presented. Hexcel partnered with Stelia Aerospace (formerly Aerolia), Coriolis Composites and CompositeAdour to collaborate on the design, manufacture and testing of a primary aircraft structure – a self-stiffened fuselage demonstrator panel -–using HiTape. The resulting panel that will be displayed at Le Bourget demonstrates that HiTape meets the aerospace performance standards for primary structures, including damage tolerance. (GK)
