Prepreg repair solutions for aerospace structures

HexPly® M20 Prepreg for Composite Repair

In the early 1990s, Hexcel was asked by the newly formed Composite Aircraft Composite Repair Committee (CACRC) to develop a prepreg repair solution for Aerospace structures. Hexcel proposed an epoxy prepreg with a high-temperature performance from a low energy cure cycle. HexPly® M20 prepreg cures at 130°C (265°F) to form a tough, high temperature resistant fiber-reinforced composite.

Compared to wet lay-up repair systems, prepreg provides a cleaner, more efficient, and controllable process.

Through the CACRC qualifications, HexPly® M20 offers a harmonized product across multiple OEMs for airlines to purchase and stock for all their fleet repair needs.
