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.

HexMC® Aerospace Grade is exclusively provided by Hexcel as manufactured and finished parts.  The engineering and production resources are in place at Hexcel in Kent, Washington to custom design, manufacture, test, and inspect detail components to meet customer specifications.  For further information, please contact Mike Ward at 253-872-7500 x 4589.

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.
