Shipping Information

Non Hazardous

This product is not classed as dangerous goods for transport and can be shipped to all US addresses without restriction.

Prepregs are Perishable!

Prepreg materials are stored in our freezers at -20°C (-4°F) and are shipped from our warehouse still frozen. This prepreg has an 'out-life' of at least 30 days at room temperature and so typical delivery times will still leave plenty of 'out-life' remaining.

During summer months or periods of hot weather, it is recommended to order prepregs at the start of the week (Monday or Tuesday) to avoid adding extra shipping days over the weekend.

Unless you plan to use the product immediately, it should be placed into frozen storage as soon as possible on receipt.

Because of their perishable nature, we only ship prepregs internationally on priority (air) services. As a result of this, it may not always be possible to order prepregs at the same time as some large or bulky items. If this is the case, the shipping calculator will warn you and suggest that you remove large items or place separate orders.

Customs Clearance

Although orders to the USA are delivered 'duty paid', orders over $800 are still subject to a 'formal' customs entry procedure where US customs may contact you to confirm some details. We remind customers that customs clearance is your responsibility and that when ordering perishable 'prepregs' it is important to respond quickly to any such request in order to avoid delay and potential damage to the material. Easy Composites cannot be held responsible for damage caused to prepregs during transport as a result of customs delays. By placing an order for prepreg materials, you accept these conditions of sale.

Package Size

When packaged, this product is over 1m in length. A small 'additional handling' charge will be included in the shipping cost.

150gsm (4.4oz/yd²) XPREG® XA120 is a structural epoxy adhesive film used to provide a high strength bond between composite laminate and core materials such as aluminum honeycomb, Nomex® or foam core (such as Rohacell®). This film adhesive can also be used to provide additional resin around bonding fasteners and inserts or underneath peel-ply when using peel-ply to provide a secondary bonding surface.

XA120's advanced, toughened epoxy formulation results in outstanding bond and peel-strength at the very forefront of adhesive film performance.

This prepreg resin film is suitable for autoclave, oven or heated platen press cure. XA120 cannot be cured at room temperature.

Advantages

  • Industry leading bond and peel-strength
  • Service temperature up to 120°C (248°F) (subject to post-cure)
  • Easy handling (4 week out-life)
  • Minimal shrinkage, very low CTE
  • Fully compatible with XPREG® XC110 and XC130 prepregs

Further Information

Cure Cycle

The recommended cure cycle for XA120 is 8hrs at 90°C (194°F) (ramp rate 2°C (1°F) /min) which will result in a Tg of 100°C (212°F). Where the maximum Tg is required, a post cure of 120°C (248°F) for 1hr should be followed (ramp rate 0.3°C (0.5°F) /min).

See datasheet for full details including alternative cure cycles from 80°C (176°F).

Compatibility with XPREG® Prepregs

XA120 is fully compatible with XPREG° XC110 (out-of-autoclave) and XC130 (autoclave) cure prepregs and can be co-cured with these prepreg systems or used in a '2-shot' process to provide secondary bonding onto laminates made using these systems (peel-ply finish or surface preparation would be required).

Can’t find the answer you’re looking for?Ask our technical team a question.

Unfortunately we do not stock any pre-pregs with a flexible resin. The only flexible resin we supply is our EF80 Flexible Epoxy Resin which is suitable for wet lay and vacuum bagged processes.

No, XA120 Prepreg Adhesive film is designed to be used as an adhesive, particularly for bonding core materials to laminates as part of single or multi stage cure processes. It is not designed to be used as a 'resin film' or 'surface film' and in testing did not prove suitable for this application.

Not clear, no, but it is certainly translucent. If your laminate is thin, for example a single ply, you would see through to any substrate underneath, although it would be less clear (slightly cloudy).
Yes, the blue poly film must be removed. If you're finding it difficult to remove the blue poly backing then it might well be that your ambient temperature is too high; in warmer conditions the resin will be a lower viscosity and a lot tackier. If you cool down your work area, or even just cool down the adhesive film, it will be much easier to remove the backing.

The film is nominally around 0.2mm thick in its uncured state. However, post curing, the thickness will reduce and vary depending on the use and curing process.
