Hexcel® Hexcel Tooling Fabrics
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoset; Bismaleimide (BMI); Carbon Fiber/Thermoset Composite
Material Notes:	Hexcel tooling fabrics are produced from high-performance bismaleimide (BMI) resin and carbon fiber utilizing Hexcel’s proprietary PrimeTex® spreading technology. PrimeTex® fabrics are inherently more uniform as the filaments in each tow are spread creating a closed fabric with lower interstitial porosity and reduced resin rich regions normally seen in other tooling fabrics. The resulting tooling surface enables quality part production with less post cure processing of finished part surfaces. The unique combination of Hexcel’s advanced tooling fabrics and Hexcel’s high Tg M61 resin system create a product capable of high production rate-durable low mass carbon tools. Benefits PrimeTex® fabrics have reduced resin-rich pockets resulting in higher durability and enhanced part quality High Tg resulting in high-rate tools for 350°F cure. Available in either standard modulus or intermediate modulus 3, 6 and 12K fibers High fiber volume fraction Excellent tack and drape Excellent out-time Information provided by Hexcel Corporation.
