Product catalog summary

Overview
Hexcel offers a range of Redux® and HexBond™ adhesives, including film adhesives, foaming films, primers, and liquid shims, tailored for aerospace and industrial applications. These products are designed for bonding composites and metals, ensuring high performance and durability.

Film Adhesives
Redux® and HexBond™ film adhesives are available in epoxy and bismaleimide forms, requiring heat and pressure for curing. They are suitable for metal-to-metal and composite bonding, as well as honeycomb sandwich structures, with temperature resistance from -55ºC to 230ºC.

Foaming Adhesive Films
These films expand when cured at high temperatures, ideal for gap filling and honeycomb core bonding, and are used with Redux® film adhesives.

Primers
Redux® primers enhance adhesive performance by protecting pretreated metal surfaces and ensuring bond durability, free of chromium compounds.

Shimming and Paste Adhesives
Shimming adhesives are two-part epoxies that cure at room or elevated temperatures. HexBond™ paste adhesives are available in one and two-component forms for bonding, potting, and filling applications.

Adhesive Selection Criteria
Selection is based on factors like maximum service temperature, cure temperature, bondline thickness control, weight, and material compatibility. Film adhesives are categorized by curing temperatures, typically 120ºC or 180ºC.

Product Performance
The guide details specifications for Redux® and HexBond™ products, including service temperatures, cure times, and mechanical properties like lap shear strength and peel performance, aiding in selecting the right adhesive for specific applications.

Conclusion
Hexcel's Redux® and HexBond™ adhesives provide versatile solutions for bonding in demanding environments, focusing on performance, durability, and substrate compatibility.
