C212T2pp Carbon prepreg "Out of autoclave"

Carbon prepreg C212T2pp, optimized for out of autoclave (vacuum only) curing. One side of the fabric is partially impregnated with a resin film, and the other side is dry (to facilitate the air and volatile content to escape). C212T2pp is a not high tack prepreg. Tack enhancing may be achieved by means of temperature or special purpose tack modification spray.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
1) Draw vacuum to evacuate entrapped air for at least 1 hour, depending on size and complexity of the mould
2) Raise temperature to 70 C
3) Keep 70 C for at least 1 hour, depending on the size and complexity of the mould
4) Raise temperature to 135 C, with a step of 1-3 C / min
5) Keep 135 C for about 1 hour, depending on number of layers, area size, complexity and type of mould

STORAGE LIFE
12 months at - 18 ^oC
5-6 weeks at room temperature
Allow prepreg roll to reach room temperature before opening plastic bag to prevent condensation.
