Hexcel adds U.S. production for HexPly M901 prepreg

Hexcel added U.S. manufacturing capability for its HexPly M901 fast-curing prepreg system at its Salt Lake City facility. The move expands domestic supply for a material developed in the U.K. and currently produced in France. M901 targets higher-rate composite production, with cure cycles of 4-5 minutes and Tg performance up to 180C.
