Hexcel HexMC® Molding Composite: Revolutionizing Composite Manufacturing

Introduction to HexMC® Molding Composite

HexMC® is a cutting-edge high-performance molding material that has revolutionized the production of complex-shaped parts, especially designed for compression molding. With long carbon fibers of 50mm length and a low resin content, HexMC® offers superior mechanical properties compared to other short or long fiber molding compounds. This innovative material opens up new avenues for composite manufacturing across various industries.

Applications and Advantages

HexMC® molding materials cater to a wide range of applications, particularly in scenarios where complex 3-D shapes restrict the use of typical fiber-reinforced matrices. It is also ideal for applications where metal was traditionally the only solution. The material excels in producing parts with abrupt changes in cross-sectional thickness and allows for co-curing of elements like metal inserts or integration with other materials. Utilizing an automated production process akin to SMC molding, HexMC® ensures zero material waste, making it a sustainable choice.

HexMC® Aerospace and Industrial Grades

In the aerospace sector, HexMC® is a game-changer, facilitating the manufacture of intricate connector parts for commercial aircraft and jet engines. These complex geometry parts were historically crafted from aluminum, titanium, or steel, but HexMC® offers a cost-effective solution with weight savings akin to traditional carbon/epoxy prepregs. This translates to reduced fuel consumption and enhanced aircraft payload. Moreover, the industrial grade, HexMC®-i, features a quick curing cycle, making it ideal for sporting goods, automotive, marine applications, and a myriad of industrial components.
