Hexcel composite materials are used across industries where lightweight, high-strength performance is critical. Key markets include commercial aerospace, military and defense, space, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), urban air mobility (UAM), automotive, marine, wind energy, and industrial manufacturing. Hexcel's advanced composites help improve fuel efficiency, structural performance, and long-term durability in demanding applications.
Hexcel manufactures an extensive range of prepreg materials, including carbon fiber prepregs, fiberglass prepregs, aramid prepregs, and specialty reinforcement systems. The company's HexPly® prepregs are available with a variety of resin systems and reinforcement styles to meet aerospace, defense, industrial, and high-performance manufacturing requirements. Options are available for both autoclave and selected out-of-autoclave processing methods.
Selecting the right prepreg depends on several factors, including the required mechanical properties, operating temperature, manufacturing process, certification requirements, and end-use application. Resin chemistry, fiber type, weave style, and cure cycle all influence performance. GracoRoberts' Composite and Adhesives Subject Matter Expert can help you evaluate your requirements and recommend the most appropriate Hexcel prepreg for your project.

HexPly® is Hexcel's family of high-performance prepreg materials consisting of reinforcing fibers that are precisely impregnated with advanced resin systems. HexPly prepregs are engineered to provide consistent resin content, excellent processing characteristics, and outstanding mechanical performance. They are widely used in aerospace structures, defense platforms, industrial equipment, marine applications, and other lightweight composite components.
Hexcel prepregs are available to meet a wide range of aerospace material specifications, depending on the resin system and reinforcement. Many products are qualified to OEM specifications such as Boeing Material Specifications (BMS), Airbus Material Specifications (AIMS), Bombardier Aerospace Material Specifications (BAMS), and applicable SAE Aerospace Material Specifications (AMS). Because qualification requirements vary by aircraft program and application, GracoRoberts can help you identify Hexcel prepregs that meet your required specifications and performance criteria.
Hexcel manufactures advanced adhesive solutions for composite assembly, including structural film adhesives, supported and unsupported film adhesives, lightning strike protection adhesives, and specialty adhesive systems for demanding aerospace and industrial applications. These products are designed to create strong, reliable bonds while supporting lightweight composite structures and high-performance manufacturing processes.
Film adhesives are used to bond composite laminates, honeycomb core, metal components, and sandwich structures in aerospace and other high-performance applications. Compared to liquid adhesives, film adhesives provide precise adhesive thickness, consistent bond lines, and reliable mechanical performance. They are commonly used in aircraft structures, nacelles, control surfaces, interior panels, and other bonded composite assemblies.
Yes. Many Hexcel composite materials are developed and qualified for commercial aerospace, military, and space applications. Specific approvals and qualifications vary by product, so it's important to review the applicable technical data sheet and customer or program requirements when selecting a material.
