Hexcel® HiFlow® RTM200 Bi-component Epoxy System
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy

Material Notes: Description: HiFlow® RTM200 is an aerospace bi-component toughened resin system with liquid Part A & Part B specially developed for Liquid Composite Molding technologies, such as LRI and RTM. Various applications for HiFlow® RTM200 exist throughout the UAM and UAV markets such as infused blades and other structures. Delivered as a bi-component system, HiFlow® RTM200 provides several benefits over a mono-component resin: Air shipment is allowed, and storage at 23± 5°C for 12 months and larger packages are possible. HiFlow® RTM200 has a low viscosity, allowing for easy processing. HiFlow® RTM200 has a cure temperature of 130°C and a service temperature of 90° C based on wet Tg. HiFlow® RTM200 Part A:B mixing ratio by weight is 100 : 81. HiFlow® RTM200 resin can be used in combination with HexForce®, HiTape® and HiMax® reinforcements. HiFlow® RTM200 is fully compatible with Hexcel binders and veils. They provide easy preforming properties and reinforcement dimensional stability.

Advantages

  • High glass transition temperatures: dry1: Tg> 135°C; wet2: Tg> 120°C
  • < 100mPa.s at process temperatures
  • Toughened system
  • Liquid Part A & Part B at room temperature
  • Longer shelf life (12 months at RT), as bicomponent system
  • Flexible cure cycles available
  • Low exotherm system
