HexMC® is a high range sheet-molding compound specifically designed for compression molding. The epoxy matrix and high carbon fiber volume content enable components to be molded for a wide range of applications.

The lower weight and higher specific properties that composite materials offer over metals are well documented.

HexMC® enables composite parts to be manufactured for :

>  Applications where complex 3-D shapes limit the use of typical fiber reinforced matrices/reinforced laminated composites ;  
>  Use for applications where previously metal was the only solution;
>  Parts with abrupt change of cross-sectional thickness ;
>  Applications where co-curing of elements is desired, i.e. : metal inserts or mixing with other materials, etc…
>  Use with automated production process similar to SMC molding ;
>  Production of parts with zero material waste.
