NEXX Technologies, Mitsubishi Gas Chemical America’s Advanced Materials Business Unit, Announces Eastman Machine Company Collaboration at JEC World 2023

Mitsubishi Gas Chemical America announced Wednesday, its advanced materials business unit, NEXX Technologies, will have its prepreg materials used during demonstrations in Eastman Machine Company’s booth at JEC World in Paris this month.  

“The opportunity to assist the Eastman team came to fruition this past quarter,” said NEXX Technologies General Manager Joseph Kidd. “Eastman representatives reached out inquiring about our modified epoxy prepreg solutions to demonstrate Eastman’s Eagle C135 system at JEC World. We determined NT-350HT would be a perfect material solution as no refrigeration is needed and the prepreg is exceptionally pliable.”

NEXX Technologies’ unique line of prepregs include modified epoxy, cyanate ester and bismaleimide platforms. “Our portfolio of modified epoxy prepregs don’t require refrigeration or a freezer,” expressed Mr. Kidd. “Not needing refrigeration for transit and freezer storage results in an immediate and significant cost savings.”

Eastman will be holding demonstrations of its Eagle C135 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. throughout the three-day show with NT350-HT. All are welcome to see the demonstrations at Eastman’s booth in hall 6, booth D59 and stop by and see NEXX Technologies’ prepregs in booth A32, also in hall 6.

The advanced composites division of MGCA is manufacturing in Southern California and distributing worldwide. For more information, contact Joseph Kidd at kidd@mgc-a.com.
