Enhanced Composites Prepreg features our most popular twill weave carbon, pre-impregnated with an epoxy resin system. The near-perfect resin content (45-50%) maximizes the strength properties of the carbon fabric. You don’t have to worry about resin ratio, paving the way for repeatable, uniform parts.
The 3K tow fabric (3000 filaments per fiber) is similar to our Toray Weave set twill 200 gsm. As compared to plain weave counterparts, the 2×2 twill weave offers greater conformability and delivers a slight edge in strength.
Enhanced Composites prepreg by Gurit uses a SE84LV prepreg system which is is a general-purpose system which can be used in a wide variety of applications including those requiring Class A surface finish. It is recommended to be use with motorsports, automotive parts, racing boats, drones, light aircraft, recreational equipment, and futures.
SE 84LV is an exceptionally versatile hot-melt, epoxy prepreg. It can be cured at temperature as low as 80°C (176°F), or can be used for faster moulding of components at 120°C (248°F). This is achieved with an extremely good outlife of up to 8 weeks at 18-22°C (64-72°F). It is a toughened system, and offers excellent mechanical properties on a wide variety of reinforcing fabrics and fibres. SE 84LV is widely used in sandwich structures with honeycomb, foam and balsa cores, primarily with the toughened SA 80 Adhesive Film.
SE 84LV is a very low viscosity system used with heavy fibre weights where low-flow processing conditions (vacuum bag pressure and minimum cure temperature), are likely to be used. With its high compressive strength it is widely used in large heavily loaded components, such as yacht hulls, and spars.
Products should be stored in a refrigerated and low moisture environment, preferably -18°C (0°F) , and encased in a polyethylene bag, to ensure optimal quality and performance. Prior to use, the product should be thawed and allowed to reach room temperature before opening the bag to prevent moisture from condensation.
