Hexcel® HiFlow® RTM6-2 Epoxy System for Resin Transfer Molding Bi-component System
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy

Material Notes: Description: HexFlow® RTM6-2 is the bi-component version of HexFlow® RTM6. It is delivered as two different components providing several benefits over HexFlow® RTM6: air shipment is allowed, storage at 23± 5°C for 12 months and bigger packages are possible (up to 378 kg). HexFlow® RTM6-2 is chemically the same as HexFlow® RTM6 and has the same high performances after mixing of Part A and Part B. Their mixing ratio by weight is Part A : Part B (100:68,1). After mixing of Part A and Part B, service temperatures from -60°C up to 120°C and cycle processing flexibility make HexFlow® RTM6 ideal for primary & secondary aerospace structures. Long injection windows due to HexFlow® RTM6 low viscosities are easily reached facilitating large parts manufacturing. HexFlow® RTM6 resin can be used with a wide range of HexForce®, HiTape® and HiMax® reinforcements. If needed, binders and veils are also available and fully compatible with HexFlow® RTM6. They provide easy preforming properties, reinforcement dimensional stability and toughening properties. HexFlow® RTM6 when combined with HiTape® & HiMax® has comparable mechanical properties to latest generation prepregs.

Advantages
Before Mixing

  • Longer out life storage of Part A & Part B: 12 months at room temperature (23 ± 5°C)
  • Easier transportation regulations: aircraft shipment is allowed
After Mixing
  • Qualified and well-known for vacuum infusion and RTM process
  • High glass transition temperatures: dry1: Tg>200°C; wet2: Tg>160°C
  • Low moisture absorption: 2,0 – 3,0%
  • < 100mPa.s at process temperatures
  • Mechanical properties similar to latest generation prepregs when combined with HiTape® & HiMax® reinforcements
  • Flexible processing and cure cycles
