Advanced Fabrics Tailored for Infusion Processes
Hexcel's HexPly Fabrics for Infusion have been meticulously designed to cater to the specific needs of customers utilizing infusion techniques in composite manufacturing. These fabrics have been optimized to facilitate higher and more consistent infusion rates, ensuring superior quality and performance in the final product. Hexcel offers a diverse range of fabrics that incorporate various infusion cores such as polypropylene, polyester, natural fiber, and glass fabrics. Moreover, the company has introduced innovative 'multi-stack' fabrics that are ideal for infusing large monolithic structures in a more efficient manner, reducing the number of required layers.
Research-Backed Solutions for Optimal Fabric Selection
In order to support customers in selecting the most suitable fabric structures for their specific requirements, Hexcel has developed a series of comparative test methods. These tests not only assess the relative infusibility of fabrics but also evaluate the quality of laminates produced using different fabrics. This data-driven approach enables Hexcel to offer expert guidance to customers, ensuring that they achieve optimal results in their panel production processes. By leveraging advanced research and testing protocols, Hexcel empowers customers to make informed decisions about fabric selection, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and performance of their composite manufacturing operations.
