Hexcel Corporation, a leading advanced composites company, is set to display its HiMax range of multiaxial reinforcements at Composites Engineering 2016 in Birmingham, UK, on November 2 and 3, 2016, on stand L162. HiMax fabrics are used in the automotive, marine, sports, and industrial markets, and can be specifically tailored for each customer's needs.
HiMax multiaxial reinforcements, or non-crimp fabrics (NCF), are made up of multiple plies of parallel fibres, each laying in a different orientation. These layers are typically stitch-bonded to form a fabric. HiMax reinforcements allow composites manufacturers to process multiple layers of unidirectional fibres in a single fabric and offer several advantages over traditional forms of reinforcement. A selection of products will be on display at Composites Engineering, including carbon, glass and aramid multiaxials, hybrid fabrics, fabrics optimised for infusion, and recycled materials.Hexcel Corporation, a leading advanced composites company, is set to display its HiMax range of multiaxial reinforcements at Composites Engineering 2016 in Birmingham, UK, on November 2 and 3, 2016, on stand L162.

Hexcel's glass fibre range includes UDs, +/-45 biaxials, 0/90 biaxials, triaxials and quadaxials. Chopped fibre mats and other substrates can be employed to create materials optimised for customers' projects.
Hexcel has developed a full range of fabrics specifically for customers which use infusion. In addition to modifying the construction of standard fabrics to enable, higher and more consistent infusion rates, the range encompasses fabrics that include different infusion cores within the structure including polypropylene, polyester, natural fibre and glass fabrics. Hexcel has also developed a number of 'multi-stack' fabrics that are ideal for infusing large monolithic structures in fewer layers. To aid the development of the ideal fabric architecture for each application, Hexcel offers a series of comparative test methods for determining the relative infusibility of fabrics as well as the quality of the laminates produced.
