Product catalog summary

Introduction
HexWeb® Acousti-Cap® is an innovative sound-reducing honeycomb technology developed by Hexcel, designed to enhance acoustical performance in aircraft engines without adding structural weight. This technology has been recognized with the JEC Innovation Award.

Product Specifications
Acousti-Cap® consists of a non-metallic permeable cap material embedded into a honeycomb core, forming an acoustic septum. Customers can specify flow resistance, core thickness, cap numbers per cell, and insertion depth to meet specific acoustic requirements.

Benefits

Significant noise reduction during takeoff and landing.
Lower landing fees at airports, offering recurring savings.
Increased fleet flexibility and improved cabin comfort.
Reduction in other acoustic treatments, leading to lower weight and cost.

New Developments
In 2010, Hexcel introduced an Aluminum version of Acousti-Cap® that maintains broadband noise reduction while offering cost-saving benefits. This version can withstand temperatures up to 175˚C/350˚F and is compatible with standard industry processing techniques.
