HexPly® 200 is a phenolic resin used extensively in fire proof components such as engine cowlings, fire walls, rocket nozzles and exit gas cones. The low smoke density and very low toxicity during ignition meet the requirements of FAR 25 and ATS 1000-001 specifications. The HexPly® 200 system has excellent ablative resistance and is available in fabric reinforcements and single tows.
