Prepregs

Preimpregnated laminates are resin matrix systems, reinforced with glass-, carbon- and aramide-fibres. Cured at higher temperature a solid structure is build which is highly durable, temperature resistant and stiff. Prepregs are used for a wide range of applications: aerospace-, transports-, marine, sports and leisure (e.g. windmill-/rotor-blades, high speed trains, fast boats, golf clubs and snowboards). Weight saving with prepregs is significant in comparison to other materials (e.g. metal).

Combining prepregs with honeycombs (composites) best performance can be achieved with Struktol® Polydis®: mechanical properties (toughening) and tackyness of the prepreg is improved. With Struktol® Polydis® flame retardands, epoxy based prepregs can be provided with halogen free, smoke density- and flammability-reducing, none-toxic properties.
