The company will promote composite materials that offer performance and processing benefits to customers in automotive, wind energy and recreation markets.

Hexcel is also launching its first iPhone and iPad app at Composites Europe, focusing specifically on HexPly prepregs for aerospace and industrial markets.

Automotive

Hexcel has developed a range of composite materials for automotive meeting requirements for structural performance, high temperature resistance, impact absorption, visual appeal and high production volumes.

Wind energy

The company has also added HexPly M79 to its prepreg range, providing a product that cures more quickly at low temperatures, with a very low exothermic reaction to meet the requirements for thick laminates, such as wind blades and yacht masts.

Pultruded carbon profiles

Hexcel’s Polyspeed Pultruded Carbon Profiles are a newly launched technology for pre-cured, thick-ply carbon fiber elements that are ideal for structurally reinforcing wind turbine blades and for any other industrial application requiring load-carrying performance.

Recreation

The manufacturer has decades of experience supplying prepregs, laminates and polyurethane systems for premium sports goods and has developed a range of composite products for this market including the prepregs HexPly M49, EH04 and M77.

Hexcel Corporation

Hexcel Corporation develops, manufactures and markets lightweight, high-performance structural materials, including carbon fibres, reinforcements, prepregs, honeycomb, matrix systems, adhesives and composite structures, used in commercial aerospace, space and defence, and industrial applications, such as wind turbine blades.
