Product catalog summary
Description
HexPly 920 is a robust epoxy resin matrix designed for the production of honeycomb sandwich structures and solid laminates. It is compatible with various production techniques and equipment, making it suitable for industrial applications and performance cars. The resin is available preimpregnated into carbon, glass, or aramid fibers.
Benefits and Features
  • High toughness and excellent adhesive properties.
  • Tolerant to multiple production techniques.
  • High melt viscosity for easy processing.
  • Suitable for low to medium pressure laminating and molding.
  • Variable cure cycles and long shelf life at -18°C.
  • Excellent surface finish.
Resin Matrix Properties
HexPly 920 exhibits a gel time that varies with temperature, and its cured matrix properties include a tensile strength of 34.9 MPa, tensile modulus of 3.76 GPa, and a glass transition temperature of 107°C.
Prepreg Curing Conditions
The standard curing condition is 1 hour at 125°C and 300kN/m2 pressure. Alternative faster curing cycles are available at higher temperatures, but performance testing is recommended to ensure suitability.
Cured Prepreg Properties
Properties vary based on the fiber type and configuration, with tensile strengths ranging from 442 MPa to 1760 MPa depending on the material used.
Prepreg Storage Life
  • Tack Life at 23°C: 30 days.
  • Guaranteed Shelf Life at -18°C: 12 months.
  • Storage should be in a cool, dry place, and prepregs should reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
Precautions for Use
Standard safety precautions should be observed when handling uncured resins and fibrous materials. A Safety Data Sheet is available for further guidance.
