Product catalog summary
Introduction
Hexcel has been a key player in the development of composite materials for winter sports equipment since the 1970s. The company has evolved from producing its own skis to becoming a leading supplier of advanced materials, maintaining a strong reputation for quality and innovation in the industry.
HexPly® Prepregs
HexPly® Prepregs are high-performance, fibre-reinforced resin matrix systems that offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios. These materials are supplied as rolled sheets and cured under pressure and high temperature, resulting in durable, stiff, and lightweight composites. Benefits include a clean working environment, consistent fibre-volume ratio, high stiffness, excellent fatigue properties, and short processing cycles.
Polyspeed® Laminates
Polyspeed® Laminates provide a rapid and cost-effective solution for manufacturing skis and snowboards. These pre-cured, fibre-reinforced epoxy materials offer lightness and strength without the need for time-consuming lay-up and cure processes. They are ideal for applications requiring resistance to high stresses and strains and can be used as skins for sandwich panels.
Modipur® Polyurethanes
Modipur® Polyurethanes are designed for cost-effective production of high-performance components in medium to high volumes. These systems allow for the creation of complex shapes at low cure temperatures and rapid production cycles. The range includes rigid, semi-flexible, and integral foams, suitable for core materials, insulation, and adhesive applications.
HexForce® Reinforcements
HexForce® Reinforcements offer stiffness and strength through a variety of unidirectional and woven fabrics made from glass, carbon, aramid fibres, and hybrids. The range includes standard, biaxial, and multiaxial weaves, as well as peel ply fabrics that provide a clean surface for adhesive bonding.
Conclusion
Hexcel continues to innovate and provide tailored solutions for the winter sports industry, leveraging its extensive experience and technical expertise. For more information, visit their website or contact their sales offices.
