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.
