Hexcel is a leading producer of fiber glass electronic applications.  Fiber glass fabrics offer outstanding performance to the elecrtrical industry.  High strength, dimensional stability, temperature resistance and excellent electrical properties provide the basis for use as the prime reinforcement in high pressure laminates for printed circuit boards.  Fiber glass fabrics coated with varnishes such as epoxy, silicone, rubber, Teflon and neoprene, as well as reinforcing mica products, provide the long term durability and reliability needed in insulating high voltage generators, transformers, switches and cables.

Fiber glass electronic materials are ideal for use in electronics and telecommunications applications for several reasons apart from their low cost: strength, dimensional stability, temperature resistance, thermal electrical properties, thermal conductivity and resistance to moisture and chemicals.

The diversity of the electronics market includes:

>  Printed Circuit Boards
>  Chip Scale Packaging
>  Computers
>  Wireless Communications
>  Consumer Electronics
>  Military & Avionics
>  Automotive Electronics
