This new, rapid-curing prepreg is designed for the high-rate production of structural composite parts using hot-in/hot-out press curing. 

HexPly® M51 has a 40-minute cure cycle at 180°C, reducing production times and costs versus standard autoclave-cured prepregs. Using HexPly M51 also reduces the need for multiple sets of tooling and labor compared with conventional prepreg systems. The prepreg is fully compatible with automated tape laying (ATL), automated fiber placement (AFP) and pick-and-place processes. It is also REACH-compliant, demonstrating a mechanical performance equivalent to other state-of-the-art 180°C cure prepregs.
