Hexcel HexPly: Custom Fabric Design and Manufacturing Solutions

Tailored Reinforcement Fabrics for Optimum Performance

Hexcel HexPly offers custom fabric design and manufacturing services, tailoring reinforcement fabrics to ensure optimum performance in various applications. With years of experience and expertise, our team combines different fibers such as carbon, glass, aramid, ceramics, and Thorstand™ to create tailored solutions for our customers. Whether it's designing preforms, utilizing different weaving solutions, or customizing fabrics for specific requirements, Hexcel's engineers are dedicated to providing the best solutions from our wide range of products.

Specialty Reinforcements

Hexcel's specialty reinforcements go beyond standard fabric offerings. Our capabilities include designing quartz or carbon yarn shapes for structural or transparency radomes, crafting carbon or glass flat or contoured spirals for circular parts, and developing multilayer 2D automated placed circular woven fabrics. Additionally, we specialize in tackified (powdered) fabrics, where binders are applied to aid in the infusion process, enhancing the overall performance and usability of the fabrics.

Dry Uni-Directional Material

Hexcel HexPly's dry uni-directional (UD) material is ideal for various applications, particularly in preform construction. These dry UD products offer versatility and durability, suitable for different processes depending on the specific application and requirements. By securely holding the fibers in place, our dry UD materials ensure structural integrity and performance in demanding situations.

Hexcel HexPly: Revolutionizing Composite Fabric Reinforcements

Introduction to HiMax® Multiaxial Reinforcements

HiMax® Multiaxial reinforcements, also known as non-crimp fabrics (NCF), are a cutting-edge solution that allows manufacturers to integrate multiple layers of unidirectional fibers in a single fabric. These reinforcements consist of layers of unidirectional fibers oriented in various axes and are typically stitchbonded together to create a highly versatile fabric. The manufacturing of these fabrics takes place at Hexcel's Leicester facility in the UK, leveraging the expertise acquired from the acquisition of Formax in 2016. By controlling the fiber orientation, these multiaxial reinforcements provide exceptional strength and stiffness in multiple directions. Additionally, the weight distribution in the fabric can be optimized, and various fiber types can be mixed to achieve desired performance characteristics.
