Hexcel® HexFlow® RTM 6 180°C Epoxy System for Resin Transfer Molding Monocomponent System
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy; Epoxy Cure Resin
Material Notes:	HexFlow® RTM 6 is a monocomponent resin already degassed, specifically developed to fulfill the requirements of the aerospace and space industries in advanced resin transfer moulding (RTM) process. HexFlow® RTM 6 is a premixed epoxy system for service temperatures from -60°C up to 180°C (-75°F up to 350°F). At room temperature, it is a brown translucid paste but its viscosity decreases quickly by increasing the resin temperature. Advantages: Monocomponent system; Already degassed; High glass transition temperature; Excellent hot/wet properties; Easy to process (low injection pressure); Long injection window = 150 min at recommended injection temperature; Low moisture absorption; Short, simple cure cycles.
