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.
