Exel secures deal with Chinese bus builder
Finnish composite manufacturer Exel Composites has secured a new project with Chinese automotive manufacturer Foton Bus and Coach Company to supply pultruded glass fibre composite profiles.
To further extend the use of thermoset resins in mass produced composite parts Hexcel has developed HexPly M77, a rapid curing epoxy prepreg that allows automotive components and sports goods to be press-cured in a 2-minute cycle at 150°C (80 bar pressure).
