Product catalog summary
Introduction
Hexcel has been a key player in the development of composite materials for winter sports equipment since the 1970s. The company has evolved from producing its own skis to becoming a leading supplier of advanced materials, maintaining a strong reputation for quality and innovation.
HexPly® Prepregs
HexPly® Prepregs are fiber-reinforced resin matrix systems that offer high strength-to-weight performance. These materials are supplied as rolled sheets and cured under pressure and high temperature, resulting in durable, stiff, and lightweight composites. Benefits include a clean working area, constant fiber-volume ratio, high stiffness, excellent fatigue properties, and short processing cycles.
Polyspeed® Laminates
Polyspeed® Laminates provide a rapid and cost-effective solution for producing light and strong materials without extensive lay-up and cure processes. These pre-cured, fiber-reinforced epoxy resin materials are ideal for skis, snowboards, and industrial applications, offering high performance with minimal thickness tolerance.
Modipur® Polyurethanes
Modipur® Polyurethanes are designed for cost-effective, high-performance component production in medium to high volumes. These systems allow for complex shapes at low cure temperatures and rapid production cycles. The range includes rigid, semi-flexible, and integral foams, suitable for core materials, insulation, and adhesive properties.
HexForce® Reinforcements
HexForce® Reinforcements offer stiffness and strength through extensive in-house weaving capabilities. The range includes unidirectional and woven fabrics in glass, carbon, aramid fibers, and hybrids. Peel ply fabrics provide a clean surface for adhesive bonding, eliminating the need for mechanical abrasion.
Conclusion
Hexcel continues to innovate in composite technologies, providing tailored solutions for winter sports and other industries. For more information, visit their website or contact their sales offices.

HexPly® Prepregs Polyspeed® Laminates High strength to weight performance Prepregs are fibre-reinforced (glass or carbon) resin matrix systems, which are supplied to customers as a rolled sheet, cured under pressure and at high temperature. The cure process transforms the prepreg into a high-quality composite which is highly durable, exceptionally stiff and extremely lightweight. Hybrid reinforcements combining glass and carbon are possible. To help our customers achieve short production cycles and continuous throughput Hexcel has developed a range of resins and products to meet the requirements...
