MicroEXpand-116 (MEX-116) is a 125°C curing unsupported epoxy syntactic film incorporating expands using exclusive closed cell process, providing after expansion completely homogenous cell structure (and is supplied in sheets 625 x 400 mm).
The density/strenght may be modified by changing cure pressure and/or limiting the volume available for expansion, the maximum volume expansion rate is about 250%. MEX-116 offers reduced processing time “one shot cure”, the ability to anchor inserts or fastenings and increases the opportunity to consider light weight, thin walled composite structures. 1
