Redux® - the Ultimate Bond™
Hexcel Composites formulates and manufactures a comprehensive
range of structural film adhesives, foaming adhesive films, pastes and
primers for aerospace and industrial markets.
These Redux® branded products have provided our customers with practical
and economical solutions to joining materials for over 50 years. The Redux®
range is manufactured in Duxford, UK, Livermore, CA and Salt Lake City,
UT and is supported by a global sales and technical support network.
Redux® Film Adhesives
Epoxy, phenolic, bismaleimide (BMI) and cyanate ester adhesives, supplied
in film form on a roll and requiring heat and pressure to cure. These high
performance structural adhesives are ideal for metal to metal and composite
bonding and for the manufacture of honeycomb sandwich structures.
For long term storage, refrigeration at –18°C/0°F is required.
Redux® Foaming Adhesive Films
When cured at elevated temperature these films expand, making them
ideal for gap filling, honeycomb core edge bonding and core splicing. Redux®
foaming adhesive films, which are supplied in sheet form, are designed to be
used in conjunction with Redux® Film Adhesives. Please consult the data sheet
to identify the most appropriate product combination.
Redux® Paste Adhesives
A new range of one and two-part epoxy adhesives which cure at room
temperature and can also be cured at elevated temperature to achieve higher
levels of mechanical performance. Redux® pastes are available in either tins
or cartridges.
Redux® Primers
Each Redux® primer has been formulated to ensure the maximum possible
performance is achieved from the corresponding Redux® Film Adhesive. Redux®
primers protect pretreated surfaces prior to bonding and ensure maximum
bond durability.
Hexcel Composites is continuously developing new Redux® products to ensure
that our customers always achieve the ultimate bond.
