HexPly® M78

Product catalog summary

Overview: HexPly® M78 is a prepreg designed for ski manufacturing, offering fast cure times, long storage stability, and excellent adhesion. It is a hot melt epoxy resin matrix suitable for short cure cycles at temperatures between 110°C and 160°C, enhancing both process flexibility and product quality.

Specifications: HexPly® M78.1 is formulated for use with carbon, glass, or aramide fibers. It features low tack for easy handling, versatile cure cycles, and excellent adhesion to materials like aluminum, wood, thermoplastics, and elastomers. It offers a fast cure time of 7 minutes at 120°C and can be stored at room temperature for a minimum of 2 weeks.

Procedures: The product is designed for pressure molding processes, suitable for pressures ranging from 1 to 10 bar. It is solvent-free, non-aggressive, and REACH compliant, eliminating the need for adhesive handling.

Mechanical Properties: The document provides detailed mechanical data for various configurations of HexPly® M78.1, including fiber type, weight, orientation, cured ply thickness, resin content, and tensile strength. For example, the M78.1/42%/LBB450/C configuration with carbon non-woven fibers has a tensile strength of 1020 MPa at 0° orientation.

Environmental and Safety Standards: HexPly® M78 is environmentally friendly, requiring no freezing for storage and offering energy savings. It is fully compliant with REACH regulations.

Product Family: Hexcel offers a range of composite materials, including HexTow® carbon fibers, HexFlow® resins, HexPly® prepregs, and more, catering to aerospace and industrial markets.
