HexPly® M92 combines all the key benefits achieved individually with other 125ºC curing epoxy resins, in one new system with no compromise: very good hot-wet performance, high toughness, self-adhesion, fire resistance and long out/tack life. This multi-tasking system has elevated hot wet Tg performance, allowing HexPly® M92 to operate at higher service temperatures, while still benefiting from the lower cost 125ºC cure. HexPly® M92 is available in a wide range of prepreg forms (woven and UD tape).

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights
  • HexPly® M92 exceeds the service temperature and hot wet retention of standard 125°C curing systems (Tg dry 160°C and Tg wet 115°C measured by DMA)
  • Optimized for sandwich and monolithic structures with self-adhesive properties
  • High toughness suitable for demanding aerospace structures
  • Low exotherm for thick components
  • Fire resistant performance (FAR 25.853 12s and 60s vertical burn test)
  • High robustness with 60 days tack life and out life
  • Low pressure molding capability 0.8-3 bar
  • Good surface aspect - limited preparation before painting

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling
  • Shelf Life¹: 12 months
  • Out Life²: 60 days
  • Tack life3: 60 days

Shelf Life: the maximum storage life for HexPly® prepreg, after date of manufacture, when stored continuously, in a sealed moisture-proof bag, at -18°C/0°F. To accurately establish the exact expiry date, onsult the box label.
Out Life: the maximum accumulated time allowed at room temperature between removal from the freezer and cure.
Tack Life : The time, at room temperature, during which prepreg retains enough tack for easy component lay-up.
