Component Prepreg

In this category you will find our uncured prepreg reinforcements recommended for finished component manufacture. The range includes systems for autoclave and out-of-autoclave (OOA) cure in a range of fabric weights.

Out-of-autoclave (OOA) prepregs are specially developed to deliver a high standard of surface finish and low void content when cured in an oven under vacuum pressure only. This make prepreg technology accessible to most manufacturers, without the significant investment and running costs of an autoclave. For carbon fiber component manufacture, our XC110 system is designed to produce cosmetic quality carbon fiber components that retain excellent cured mechanical properties under a vacuum bag/oven only cure.

Customers with an autoclave or using other positive pressure processes, such as compression molding or pressurised bladders can use our XC130 component system and benefit from outstanding mechanical properties and a higher service temperature.

All our XPREG® prepregs are held in stock in the UK and dispatched to the USA still frozen on a 1-2 day service. With most prepregs having a 30+ day 'outlife' at 68°F this fast delivery to the USA has almost no impact on the remaining outlife of the material. To speed processing and minimise thaw/freeze cycles, all our prepregs are sold in a choice of pre-rolled lengths or are available in full roll quantities at unbeatable prices.
