Upon cure within the recommended temperature range of 130 – 170°C, HexPly® M901 exhibits a high glass transition point and an excellent retention of its physical properties after hot-wet treatment. Short cure cycles of 10min and below can be applied to obtain an excellent green strength of the composite part, ready for demoulding and further processing. A maximum glass transition point of 195°C can be obtained by postcure of the matrix at elevated temperatures. The product has an excellent shelf life, achieving 15 weeks at ambient conditions and 3 weeks at 35°C.
