Enhancing RF Interference Control with Hexcel HexPly UD Series

Introduction to MAGRAM UD Series

Hexcel's MAGRAM UD Series offers a highly flexible and environmentally resilient solution for RF interference control. With operating temperatures ranging from -60°F to 275°F (-50°C to 190°C), MAGRAM UD combines the superior energy absorption properties of high-performance magnetic materials with the desirable physical properties of urethane.

Product Overview and Features

MAGRAM UD is designed to be mechanically stable and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures. It boasts good tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, and compression set, which are far superior to conventional rubbers. Additionally, this product is halogen-free, RoHS, and REACH compliant. MAGRAM UD can attenuate frequencies from 500 MHz to 40 GHz, making it effective in various RF interference control applications.

Effectiveness of MAGRAM UD Series

The urethane binder used in MAGRAM UD excels in high abrasion environments due to its tear strength and UL 94-HB rating. By combining this binder with various fillers, MAGRAM UD becomes highly effective for absorption. It is particularly useful for applications where the material properties of urethane can address environmental challenges.

Applications and Benefits

MAGRAM UD is ideal for scenarios requiring specular return (RCS, aircraft exteriors, etc.), surface current reduction, and system isolation (antenna, circuit component). Its flexibility, energy absorption properties, and resistance to extreme conditions make it a versatile solution for RF interference control in diverse industries.

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.
