Product Range for Ski/Snowboard Applications

It is no coincidence that the design and development of snowboards has coincided with advances in composite materials technology. Snowboard manufacturers have readily acknowledged the benefits that composites provide, and Hexcel Composites has supported them by developing an optimized range of Prepregs, laminates, polyurethane formulations and honeycombs to meet the requirements.


Your priority may be to manufacture the ultimate in light, stiff, technologically advanced snowboards. Or you may wish to achieve a very high production rate and low cost product. Whatever your aim, Hexcel has the composites expertise, with fully equipped development laboratories and technical support back-up, to help you to succeed.
