Product catalog summary
Description: The Redux 200 series consists of foaming adhesive films that expand during the curing process to fill gaps and adhere strongly to structures. They are compatible with specific Redux film adhesives and are suitable for various applications, including vacuum and non-vacuum cures.
Specifications: The films are available in dimensions of 1.25 m x 0.2 m with a thickness of 1.52 mm. They are lined with protective covers and sold in packs of 8 sheets. The films exhibit high strength from -55°C to 220°C, emit less than 1% volatiles during cure, and have expansion ratios from 1:2.0 to 1:2.2.
Applications: These films are used for joining honeycomb core sections, bonding honeycomb cores to edge members, and inserting into sandwich structures.
Instructions for Use: Substrates must be contamination-free. The adhesive should be warmed to room temperature before use. The film is cut to size, positioned on the bonding surface, and pressure is applied during curing. Recommended cure cycles vary by product, with specific temperatures and durations outlined.
Performance Data: Typical performance data includes expansion ratios and shear strength at various temperatures. The films present a low handling hazard and are virtually tack-free below 22°C.
Storage and Shelf Life: The shelf life is 18 months at -18°C, with an out life of 90 days at 19-27°C. Proper storage involves keeping the films in sealed packaging at -18°C and handling them carefully when frozen.
Certification: The quality system is certified to ISO 9001, with approvals from the UK Civil Aviation Authority and Ministry of Defence. Certificates of Conformity and Test Reports are available upon request.
Additional Information: Hexcel provides a range of composite materials, including carbon fibers, reinforcements, prepregs, and adhesives. Contact information for sales and further inquiries is provided.

Instructions for Use Pretreatment It is essential that all substrates to be used are free of contamination and in as ideal a state for bonding as possible. As pretreatment will significantly vary dependent on substrates being used, please refer to the Hexcel publication Redux Bonding Technology for optimum procedures. If there will be a delay between pretreatment and bonding of aluminium, the pretreated surface can be protected with Redux 112 to conserve the good bonding surface. Bonding can be delayed for up to 3 months without deterioration of the pretreated surface. Application 1. Allow sufficient...
