Increased Stiffness with an Integrated Resin System
This unidirectional is non-woven, so there is no crimping of the fibers and less than 3% of polyester binder is used on one side to allow for the highest possible density of carbon fibers. The resin system with curing agent has been preimpregnated into the fabric for an ideal 37% strength-to-weight ratio, and repeatable high-quality results.
The 4.3 oz/sq yd Intermediate Modulus is a great choice when building high performance aerospace, marine, and racing parts.
Features
- Unidirectional fabrics add strength in just one direction
- Never-twisted Intermediate Modulus fiber with a tensile modulus of 40 MSI and strength of over 800 KSI
- Flawless, outward surface after curing
- 12" wide fabric lays up seamlessly side-by-side
- Integrated epoxy system provides consistent, flawless results
- Room temperature storage means this fabric is always ready to use—no freezing and thawing required!
Tips
- Use this fabric for aerospace and other high performance racing applications like car bodies, boat hulls, or aerospace rockets.
- Our unidirectional prepregs feature blue and red liners. The red liner signifies the binder side of the material, where the blue liner is the more cosmetic side of the material for the outward-facing surface.
- Cure the prepreg fabric using vacuum bagging and the recommended ramp-up schedule for optimal performance and curing time!
- All of our prepregs are shelf stable at room temperature for up to 6 months.
- When laying up in a mold, use a heat gun to make fabric more pliable—but be careful, it will also become tackier.
